(1961 April 25)
Last night Sam took guinea pigs and vicious hare home with him. Penelope [cat] looked all over and cried before she slept. MM is pleased they are gone. Had enough. Pet Shop, Elizabeth Watson, just called and said they would buy guinea pigs!
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.
