(1954 September 24, Friday)
We are so happy for you about your job! [in UW Archives]. Maggie said, getting wind of the mail at the lunch table, "What is Skip doing?" Daddy: "His new job is sorting waste paper in the basement of the library." MM: "Is he really sorting waste paper in the basement?" Then of course I could stand it no longer and told her you were cataloging important documents." That held her.
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.
