(1950 February 27)
Friday Ruth came and she cleaned the encyclopedias. We arranged she was to let me know whether she could baby sit in the p.m. so I could go to the dressmakers. But our phone went out of order and she thought I was hurt and couldn't get to it so came anyway. Susie Dorjan? - go up 3rd street til you come to high school gym, turn right, second house on right - very nice little dressmaker. I had to keep trying on my jacket from 3:30 to 5:00 ... My jacket will be done for Easter (at least).
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.
