(1967 July 16)
What weather do you have [in Kansas]? Hot summers? I wonder what the winters are. I have a spell on me for knitting mittens now, and if any of you will be needing mittens this winter, please draw around your hand, label with name, and forward together with color preferences.
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.
