(1970 December 15)
It is ten degrees below zero this morning, our first severe cold spell not counting the cruel windy times. This follows our record-breaking snowfall, which all in a day, last Thursday, gave us 12-18 inches where grass was green in the morning.
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.
