(1991 September 2)
[On Labor Day] People are driving by with boats today, probably to their cottages on some lake. I have talked to women who have them, and they say it's just like keeping up two houses.
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.
