(1974 November 14)
I know you have lots more fun than I do. You have a sports car [just a Capri] - you take many trips - you go to every convention - you buy what comes into your head if the money is at hand. It's not a bad life style. In fact, vary satisfactory, I'll say. If I could drive and were in better health, I might do the same thing.
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.
