(1993 February)
Today after lunch this nice man at our table suddenly came to my side and said, "You said you haven't looked over the whole place and wanted to; so I thot now would be a good time to do it." Off we went, and I think four floors - up and down with the elevator - a room of nice looking people being fed, and the laundry washing and ironing. I became very tired. ... He showed me the place all right. I was so tired. Kicked off shoes and fell on bed and slept instantly.
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.
