(1952 October 9)
Guess what KE is teaching Maggie in Music! "The poor old slave has gone to rest"! I try to sing it with her but neither of us can remember all the words let alone the iggledy wiggeldys. [A scout camp song that proceeds by variations, e.g. "The pigglty-poor old sliggity slave...." ]
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.
