(1991 January 23)
Are you aware postage is going up? From 25 cents to 29, and on cards from 15 to 19. To pay for the war. I heard a talk this morning calling the shooting "a carpet war" - shooting everything in sight - milk dairies - anything. Then when we get it all shot up, we'll pay for it and put it all back.
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.
