(1967 February 27)
Sad to say I was stricken again with this rheumatism I had before, and on top of it have a heavy head cold. ... I haven't been fully dressed since Valentine's Day. I could, but I am warmer and more relaxed in warm pajamas and robe; besides it is easier to go on like this when I alternate work with rest periods. I have help twice a week and my family helps too. Dee lets me know when we are getting oil or groceries and Penelope [cat] gives me lots of love. So I wait for my cold to go away and Spring to come and then I'll be fine.
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.
