########## The Farmer's Daughter ###########
############### background #################
##############################################

Based on the 1947 movie of the same name. 307 Marshall Road, Washington,
D.C., was the residence of the Morley family: Glen, widower and congressman;
his mother, Agatha; and his children, Steven and Danny

Seeking a government job teaching under-privileged children in the Congo,
Katy Holstrum, a beautiful, naive, Minnesota farm girl seeks the help of
her congressman. Impressed with her ability to handle his sons, Glen offers
her the position of governess, which she accepts.

Stories depict: the home and working life of a congressman; and the attempts
of a Swedish country girl to adjust to both political and city life. Through
simple charm and native intelligence Katy managed to loosen up the sometimes
stuffy politicians around her and to further Glen's bumbling political
career.
