Dear Miss Blue,

Poor Mrs. Fezziwig, still unable to recover from losing her dear husband, the Colonel, during the long ago WWI. To grieve day in and day out is so hard on her supply of tears I would think.  And of course, wearying for Lucretia. As you tell the story, even wearying for me, Miss Blue.  My eyes are misting up even as I write.  Life is cruel when filled with misunderstandings about how this happened or didn't happen. Melba's story about the Colonel, Cheddar - an endearing name - he must have been a brave soldier, anyway, fighting in such dangerous places as the American Everglades where the savages and the alligators abound (maybe even the crocodiles?). All of this exciting report did make Mrs. Fezziwig proud and finally happy. How astute is Melba and playful.  Melba, always unpredictable as I remember from days past.
As for harmonizing, I have a new song for us to harmonize,Miss Blue.  It is called: Let the Rest of the World Go By, a favorite in the 1920's. Easy to sing in two-part harmony.

Sending you love, Miss Blue, Pearl xoxox
