278 May 28 - 8:30 P.M. Monday My Darling Sweety: I'll bet your ears burned today! This afternoon Mr. Pearson, his wife and youngest daughter stopped by, and stayed for over an hour. We talked about you, the island, etc. etc. I showed him my pictures, and he showed me his. He asked for the negatives of some of the pictures which he will return, and in turn is going to have copies of some of his pictures made for me including one of the tennis court. I gave him all the latest news as you've given it to me, and he told me more about some [pg 2] of the men. He’d seen Helen and Kirby Etter's wife in Las Angeles, and expects to see Mrs. Ewing this week. He stopped over at the Presidio to see Lt. Com. Lee, but tho he's expected, he hasn't arrived yet. Wendy was up, and on her best behavior, and she had a wonderful time with the little girl - both of them tearing all around the house - Wendy on all fours of course. Mr. Pearson has been asked to go to Okinawa in June, but his wife doesn't want him to go. I'm awfully glad they stopped by. Received your Special this [pg 3] morning - the one with the sketch of the pineapple and mango. An easy way to test the ripeness is to pull out a leaf - if it pulls easily than the fruit is ripe enough to eat. Which is the best of Three Feathers, Schenley and Imperial? Fall of ’42 will always be special darling, I go back to it often and am everlastingly grateful that we found each other when we did - sweety. I love being yours. Had a nice letter from Janie Mook today - just between us, and you’re not to divulge this to Tel, she's just as concerned about Tel getting bald, as I am about you sprouting gray [pg 4] hairs. I didn't know they had a little boy - It will be fun if Wendy gets to meet him someday. I ordered Wendy's cake this afternoon - medium size white icing with pale pink trim. Hunted for some sort of a musical toy for her, but all I could find was a toy xylophone with a nice tone. Stayed up late last night finishing “Double Ten,” and went to bed with a real feeling of satisfaction. For the first time in a long while I felt as if I’d really learned something. Time to trek to the P.O. now - it's getting to be a habit. I love you too, Tinker - very, very much - Bobby
