(1991 January 14)
I was heartbroken to read of Dorothy's bad luck with her horse breaking. Poor child! ... That wicked cat! The horses's leg can be well mended with Crazy Glue, which can be purchased at variety stores or hardware. You must beware not to get involved with it, as when it sticks, it clings forever - just one touch and you are stuck. When it first came out there were dreadful stories of it. The one I recall was a woman stuck to the refrig and could not free herself until her husband came home and got the remedy. But it will fix the leg on good and strong. You bet.
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.
