Dear Miss Blue,

I am so happy to hear from you since the last few days have been quite dreary; even though spring is here, we are still having cold weather, wearing our winter coats and scarves.  

Now I will admit, Miss Blue, that I have been hoping to have some excitement in my life so that your letter with the picture of the beautiful Sing So Long inviting us to the Orient in June was a blessing!  I have already set aside my silk scarves and gowns with designs by the famous Chinese designer Cha Cha Ling.  I do want to make the proper impression when we are in the Orient.  Do you remember my darling skirt pleated in sixteen gores?  It flared out when I walked fast and everyone watched while I stopped and twirled around and tossed kisses with my hand.   Do you remember my silk kimono, Miss Blue?  It was a creamy ivory color and I loved wearing it around the house and often would stand in front of my full length mirror feeling beautiful in my kimono (made in Japan, of course).

We always have such good times when we are together, Miss Blue and I will reserve a seat on an overseas plane soon. 

Love, Pearl 

PS  June is the time of roses and if they are in bloom I shall bring a large bouquet wrapped in red tissue paper.
