(1970 September 2)
Try to cheer up! I knew you were agitated when I saw you had put an 8 cent air mail on my letter and I had to pay 2 cents postage due! ... I should put up my sign as in Snoopy: 'All Questions Solved, 5 cents."
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.
