(1966 September 9)
It is amazing how long some sheets (linens) last. I have some that were in Vina's household. The sheet I sent you I got the year I moved here [1938] when Carolyn Bancroft worked in Krouskops. She is a grandmother now.
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.
