(1989 October 7)
It is a glorious autumn day here with the sun just warming the earth and the dazzling trees rattling their leaves in all shades of green and red. I once read when the Englishmen first went back to England having been in US and told of the fall trees they were not believed as the Englishmen up to that time had seen nothing like it. I know you have the same beauty in Kansas as we do in Wisconsin. Perhaps life in the South would be boring?
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.
