Dearest darling Jeanie :-
The Postman did'nt even ring once this morning and am I disappointed? Perhaps to-morrow!
I have made out the two checks and you can endorse them.
Was I thrilled to see your name in the paper? (New Choral Society) You see I am now answering your letters.
Mary Elizabeth has a very fine back-ground has'nt she? Does she like her work at D.D.? It would be exciting to hear her play.
You are such a dear appreciative darling! How could I help but do what I did. Look what an incentive you were. Only I have'nt done half enough. I feel like such a piker. When I get to Hempstead, I am going to snap into something and try to make things easier for you.
"Lido Club Hotel" Stationary was swanky, and such an interesting letter written on it. Imagine my letter being delicious! Harvey Miller used to play sax with me. Perhaps you just can't place him.
Anthony does look very nice these days. Perhaps there's a reason. He certainly is primping. White shoes n' everything.
Am reading all about Lido again, and it sounds grand. Your corsage food and eating twice. We of the long stomachs! Well I like to eat and am not ashamed of it.
No I don't think you ought to try to get anything to do. A change is much more important, I think.
No family council will be necessary, I hope, so the wind-up for the present seems very near. Is'nt it grand?
By this time, your outing is over and you have either been a swan duck or a fish. Hope the Dr. has been leanient [sic] with you. I don't want you to have any more ear trouble tho'.
I am down to the yellow letter written at the "Mouse". How lovely of you to stay with the children and write to your "momee"!
I sort of reneged last wk, did'nt I? Jane would be working so hard that I just had to volunteer to help.
Doubleday dinner must have been a huge success. Its [sic] too bad that you had to sit with people who don't dance, but then you did finally step a little, and I'm so glad.
Did'nt those big-wigs see my darling? I think they are foolish-wigs if you ask me. Vail-Ballou's did'nt miss you until you were gone, & that's the way it will be with D.D. What care we?
You certainly flatter me, don't you? I am pleased tho' to know my sewing is creating a little attention. It is'nt the clothes, dearie, it's the model, and what a model!!! Well I will have to do some more sewing when I come home.
Am going to read "The Last Puritan" this afternoon, and try to finish it. I would like to read it again some time. Its [sic] hard to read here, because Jane is'nt a reader and you know how that is. I shall wait until morning and finish this letter.
Dearest ye - JC -
Your darling letter came this morning, (Tues.) with check enclosed, for which please accept my gratitude. You're too too good to me. I enjoyed your letter heads, and it was nice to know you had such a fine time Sat. The bathing suit and accessories sound exciting. Glad you decided on yellow.
We will go to see Dr. Kinney providing you do not faint. It makes me weak when I think about the day at Dr. McWitts.
Be sure and take care of that paper Sat. It won't be too late.
I shall never forget Mrs. Groves and they will probably always remember my contract bridge. Ha! Ha!
The later you come in July the better, for me, as I want to be thru, but come when you can most conveniently.
Mrs C's lunch sounded dee-licious. Give her my love, and tell her I have'nt forgotten her.
Yes, An got your card and was pleased, but I guess he expected a dictionary. Eh What?
We have three baby birds (all eggs hatched) They look so funny. We are thrilled.
I just can't help loving my bee-bee -
Your adorablest
Tillie.
All good things come in threes. xxx xxx xxx
Jane sends love.
