September 14, 1912
From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
Grandfather came to my room early this morning and took the gold pieces away from me, and said that when I am a big lady I can have them and buy anything I want with them. He was putting them in a big bank downtown for now. He said I didn’t need the money now, but I said that I did, I needed money to buy candy, and he asked me how much did I need, and I said “Five cents,” so he took out five cents from his pocket and gave it to me.
