(1989 November 8)
When Kathryn Bailey went on her porch to get her mail, she was actually horrified to find two big grotesque green squashes Archie had left at the door for her. I advised her to wait until Bob [her nephew] came and let him whack one open with an axe, and she thot she might. I wonder if he will bring one for me. Must have had a good harvest.
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.
