(1956 November)
Today we called on Birketts and honored their 5-month-old daughter with a gift, 5 months late. MM is wonderful with children and had fun with Ellen, now about 3. They took a walk and M brot her some of her cups and saucers and they had a tea party, etc. We all took turns holding the baby until she spit up and then no one wanted her and she was put in her teeter.
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.
