(1951 October 4)
Of course you may [leave the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and] go back to Ripon [College] if that's your dish. If you do, don't you ever dare open your mouth to your father or to me on how it is dull there or here or in any other small town - not ever. We don't want to hear how there isn't anything to do. But change if you like.
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.
