| Evidence: | [Adams's grandmother?s nephew sent newspapers to her on weekly basis, first the Weekly Dispatch; this was in time replaced with The Examiner.]
?The substitution of the "Examiner" for the "Dispatch" was not appreciated by the family; but we could not look a gift horse in the mouth, and, besides, we had no means of communicating with the giver?. I revelled as a boy in the politics of the "Dispatch" ? as a youth in the criticisms of the "Examiner".?
