(1977 May 22 or so)
After the P. O. today I went to the News Stand for the last time. Bot a couple books including some Moliere's plays. 40% off. Many of them are ripped to pieces and the covers sent back as they do, a thing that seems a terrible waste to me.
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.
