Betty,

My oldest son in a sinner, but as a mother I try to be supportive. Do let me know what I should wear to his piercing service. He is having his tongue pierced and I cannot decide if I should wear a my blue dress with the white polka-dots or my blue dress with the slightly smaller polka-dots. Both, of course, with mother's pearls. I just know you will know what god thinks is the correct outfit.

Your friend,

Barbara Pierce Bush
