(1974 November 14)
Well, I have gone on enough about this [saving, not spending]. I am worried about the state of our country. Things are in recession. More unemployment, rises in prices! Where is it all going to end? Our congressmen are off to Europe on lovely trips. People all over the world are strving. Births are up. I hope none of us are ever hungry.
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.
