(1994 June 14)
I am eating a candy called "Hugs" - very good. ... An announcement repeated 3X: "Bingo will be played tonight in the Westview dining room. Shall I go and win some candy? There is no skill on earth that will help you in that game. And yet outside of writing this to you and crocheting your hat, I have no occupation for the evening.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
