"DAMN NICE OF YOU"
Ron: To Jigi
June 28, 1954
Dear “G”,
It was damn nice of you to give me that beautiful belt for my birthday. You made me feel bad 'cause I didn't get you anything on your birthday. I'll make up for it somehow.
Well, I had two glorious weeks of vacation up with Trow. Of course, we saw quite a few movies. I learned to bowl, practiced tennis, and learned a whole mess of games. We had stinko weather. We had only three days of no rain.
The day after tomorrow I am going up with Uncle Frank McCulloch to his ranch. I'll probably stay up there for about a week. He said I will be riding most of the time. Oh my poor aching butt!!!
While you are in the Islands, I hope you will meet Freda Yuen, cousin of Allan's, who lives just across the road from, [...], MARJORIE. Boy is she a yakady tropical bird!!! I bet she showed you around their house and also made you look at the view from their house. Don't worry, that is routien (sp?) with all guests.
God, am I lucky I was there for only one day! In a way, I sure pity you.
The family that I think will be the nicest is the Lums. Please send my regards to them all.
Every time you pick up a coconut, just think of the other Ron!
Well, that's all for now.
Love,
Your brother Ronny
