Mrs. Lewis wrote, "Just had the BEST chicken fired steak dinner at Carl and
Mary's.  Heard Mary Patterson, who works there, tell about a couple ordering
and saying they did not know what the black-eyed peas were.  She said, "I guess
you are from the North."  They could not see why not knowing about black-eyed
peas would have anything to do with their geographical living.  They were from
up there where good old black-eyeds are not known.  They ate them and liked
them.  Who wouldn't--good old home canned ones with the fresh taste of snaps
and green peas in them.
    Mary, Jimmy Patterson's mother, said Jim was in the Tonkin Sea, off the
coast of Viet Nam.  She promised a detailed report for publication soon.
    Mrs. Lewis had left a pair of black gloves as she was out interviewing,
collecting news.  They were valued especially because they had come from
England and were a gift.  The were black kid with hand-croqueted inserts.
