(1965 October 5)
I took the electric kitchen clock apart to clean the inside of the crystal, which shines now - but the clock doesn't go. (It will.) ... (PS - it did).
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.
