My dear Honey-bunch:-
Your darling letter rec'd a short time ago and am hastening to drop you a line while the coast is clear. Am so proud of you darling and shall feast on all those papers when you get home. It must be thrilling to have them read in class.
Am still thinking of the nice time I had in Holyoke, and glad I came to see how and where you live. It thrills me, and makes me feel so satisfied with the part I'm helping you play. Mt. Holyoke is so beautiful, but what a place to get away from. Your friends are all charming. Give them my love.
I saw Anna Christie twice going with Nina & Dorothy Wed. night. It is certainly a marvelous picture.
Last night, I went to Pres. church to the Women's (Prof. & Business) club supper. Marie Stickley is president. Mrs. C. M. Dickinson gave a marvelous talk on "Honolulu" and it made me just want to go. (You and I) After the meeting Mrs. Kerr (the white haired lady at Hills) who usually waits on us for dresses) & I walked down to Marie's, and she took us up to "Wee Blew Inn" for refreshments. It was a nice ride, and being a hot night, was very restful. Marie bought her car with money she made in "Calumet & Heckla" [sic] So she calls the car "Hecla". It's surprising the number of people who buy stock. Ahem.
If your garter belt is'nt alright, they will exchange it when you get home. Keep the box, if you have'nt thrown it away.
Why should'nt you have complements [sic] on your figure? 'oo biz boo'ful. So glad your appetite and tongue are improving. Sent you some "results" You better take a half of a tablet, one square. I think they're very good to take once in a while, and just chew it up, and follow directions. I find them very affective.
I'll think about you all during Exams. Don't write if you're too busy. I'll understand, and will be on your shoulder telling you just how to ans. those pesky questions. Don't put every thing down that I tell you. I may be wrong.
Your father is well, but I don't know much about his business. Going to Owego to-morrow. Will write again soon.
Oodles of love and kisses
"Muddikins."
