(1973 September 9)
Helen [Kay, aunt] wrote the Grants (Vinje & Richard) have a new station wagon. All very well. But I always heard you save money if you get one that is even one month old. I suppose some one has to start with a new one. but don't buy a wreck.
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.
