(1960 March 17)
Did I write you Daddy burned my tall Cape Cod chair by dropping a cigarette on it? So now I am choosing a new cloth for that, having found an upholsterer. Also this morning Hansens here to put a dust cover under yellow love seat - old one was rotten and held up by pins and Scotch tape. This goes on and on until I think that me moind weel geeve way.
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.
