This recipe was extracted from Farm and home cook book and housekeeper's assistant (1907) by Adeline O. Goessling, page 126. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

spinach carefully and boil aoout 15 or 20 minutes. It will require very little water, if any, as greens boil down very much, and the water which clings to the leaves after washing is almost enough to cook them. When done pour in a colander to drain, chop lightly, and pick out all the tough stem ,parts. Return to the kettle with butter and salt and pepper to taste, or use the frying fat from ham. Heat thoroughly and serve at once with a garnish of hard-boiled eggs
