(1951 June 20)
I wish you were here to enjoy Kalmon's berries, which are wonderful. We have big fat red ones, so pretty with a bright green top. This damp weather is good for them, brings out their color and flavor. Delicious. I canned 2 pints today, hoping Daddy will enjoy them this winter.
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.
