(1966 July 3)
You remind me of Mrs. Lincoln, who strapped a typewriter to her running board when setting out on a long trip; in case she should be moved by some glorious scenery, Pearl, her husband [aka Judge Lincoln] could pull to the side of the road and she could type up her emotions.
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.
