(1966 September 9)
Yesterday I spent some time restoring an old doll that Edith's old auntie had when young. Recovered the body. Leather arms and hands and boots are ticklish. Fun to do.
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.
