(1988? November 1)
Carla Hill, who is in school here, took me shopping Friday when I bought a small ham, but I had no dry peas or beans except your Black Eyed Peas [for New Year's Day], and I wouldn't think of using them up! So I cut off some raw slices and froze those and will make the soup when I have peas.
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.
