(1963 September 22)
Yesterday I got Dee one of those wire brushes as Vica [Skip's dog] had. Hers was all moth eaten and beyond recall. He winces but tries to be brave. Getting pretty matted and attention needed. The leaves those two pets drag in now!
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.
