Dearest Jeannette:-
Will try to write you a few lines after a very hectic and enjoyable weekend, if that's possible.
After a shopping tour Sat., when Jane bo't a new bird etc. I played at the German Club House in J. City, for the same crowd with Bill Bailey (no drums.) Jane had a grand time. Bill's friend "Gus" & bride & soem married woman (Bill's friend I guess. Oh! There's a nigger in the woodpile!) went along. Jane was the life of the party, while I earned my money.
We slept until eleven A.M. Sun and after eating a hearty breakfast, went over to call on Fritz. he was alone. Franke (Florence's son) came Fri. night in Flo's car (ahem!), and she went back to Reading with him Sat. to help him straighten out some matrimonial controversy. Frank's wife is suing for non-support. Well, Florence will be back Wednesday. At least her things are all here. We had a nice visit with Fritz, and raided the "frigidaire". Then the three "Klems" went up to Wheeler's.
They had had dinner, but Marjorie prepared another for us. Fritz stayed until 8.30 when it was time to play, and Jane & I stayed all night.
Had breakfast at ten A.M. and I took Jane Marj & Billy to see "Mutiny on the Bounty". They wanted to see parade, so we did'nt see (quite) all of the picture. I got a rain check when we came out.
Saw the big parade (Billy's first Armistice parade and he was quite excited) and after going to a couple of bird stores, took them home, and got a light lunch.
Jane left at 4.30 with Bill Bailey and Marj. with Billy left shortly after.
I then ate quite a substantial meal and went back to see the first of "Mutiny" & stayed to see it thru again.
It is a wonderful picture. Laughton was marvelous, as the captain. Tone & Gable were were splendid. I enjoyed it more the second time, as I was alone. It was too exciting for Billy. It's marvelous photography. Two native girls were beautiful.
Well, that's the news to date, darling. I am quite tired, and shall be glad to go home and retire.
Rec'd a nice letter from you Sat. morning, with your U.B. [Vail Ballou Press] list. Of course, I have'nt been down.
Tho't of you Sat., when I listened in for football scores. It must have been quite exciting for your friend. Syracuse winning.
Would'nt it be wonderful to join the Junior League? Don't worry about dues.
Mrs. Kirkland knows you are staying, and she does'nt want me to move. If I do, she might take my rooms. Let her know first, she says - She asked me if you had a position, in N.Y.
Everyone is asking, because I am alone. You see they miss "my shadow," and don't I!
It's thinking what's ahead of me that keeps me from getting lonesome.
The family are all pleased to think you got the position, and happy for you.
Think I shall do some W.W. and if I can sell any at all should do so now. What do you think?
Have to go to Owego Fri. to collect rent. Is'nt it awful? Shall come back soon.
Well, dearie, I am so tired, think I shall close until later.
All my love for you dearie, and Xillions of kisses
Muddikins.
Please excuse all mistakes, if I had the energy would fill the space with x's
Good-night darling. Don't get lonesome, will you, dear?
