(1988 May 27)
When I was at Ripon [in 1920s] a record came out about horses. It went, "Horeses - horses - horses" and then the part that always made Daddy chuckle, "Little horses." I wish I could get it for you, but I go to so few sales.
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.
