(1951 September 20)
Last night I went in the study after I wrote you to see how things were coming and immediately stamps of 200 countries in alphabetical order leaped into the air and hurled themselves about. Vexed, LL stooped to pick them up. I started for the door but not soon enough - accidently LL hit 2 boxes (in order) he'd worked months on and they fell into the big box, all mixed up. You can imagine the state of your father's feelings! Feeling much like a black cat, I slunk up to bed before anything else happened.
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.
