(1949 November 3)
Speaking of pictures, Louis Dodge [retired music professor] had 200 pix of himself printed up and is now giving them forth on every side. Busy as a bee. A contest to see whether he has 200 friends that will agree to take them, say I.
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.
