My dear darling dearie:-
Your adorable letter came day before yesterday morning and I was so pleased to hear from you. It hardly seems possible that you have been home and gone again. Tues. night I went right home to Dr. up a bit and felt much better Wed. so that I stayed overtown to see Minnie Lightner in "She Could'nt say No". It was just fair. Wanted to go to the Capital, but it was nearly 6.30 when I got out of here, and did'nt want to run into Perry. Ha! Ha! Last night I "crashed the gates" and went in to see "Disraeli" - It's marvelous. Saw it thru nearly twice. The acting was superb - you will probably see it some time. Hope so, anyway.
Jennie, Anthony, Marge, and Billy came up yesterday. He was so darling! Smiled most of the time. Marge and Anthony were shopping, and Jennie & I took care of Baby. Then Jennie went out and Marge stayed here. They are going to Savanah [?] next week to see Redington's. Anthony looked nice but he acts bored at times. Jennie said that Mama had gone home, but was sleeping there (Jane's) nights. She's already cleaned a clothes closet etc. What can you do?
Nice they allowed you $150.00 for next yr. Did you want to do library work the last yr.? Why do you?
I am about all over my sore throat and feel so much better. So sorry I had to be sick your last day at home.
Don't let anything come between you and Prom, if possible. Let the other girls all stay away - you will have a nice time, but don't expect too much.
Be sure and get the kind of shoes you want and also the hat. Will look at your peach hat and perhaps send it, for you to look over. Will see. Are you really in earnest about my not fixing your dress? If they have pretty prints at Filene's, why not look at them, later. Am sending you Fritz's letter to read. Also your notes. We could'nt wired [sic] that article up. Aren't we good? Lena says it's fine.
Oodles of love and Millions of kisses from your darlingest
"Muddikins"
