"Jane's" 2.20 P.M.
Tuesday -Dearest "sweetheart":-
Rec'd two letters from you yesterday and was I hungry for them. One with the check enclosed Marge forwarded to me. Thank you so very very much for your generous contribution (are you keeping enough for yourself?) but most of all for your darling letters and all the love and kisses you sent. You are a darling!
Too bad about Martha's Aunt, was'nt it? You will probably see her again before she leaves won't you? I never did send her congratulations. What shall I do?
Will try to get Nallie's address when I get back to Binghamton.
Did you have a good time riding down hill? Who is Clark Bennett? Some one I have'nt heard about. The children have been riding down here and having the grandest times.
Am going to the dentist the first of the wk. and then perhaps I can give you some more information. I will be just as happy as you when the train starts for Hempstead.
The birthday has passed. It was the first of Feb. Jane went up, but I stayed here.
Am I surprised to think Lym asked for me? Glad you rec'd a nice letter from him.
Will speak to Schmeiske about your watch when I see him. Sorry you have had as much trouble with it. Sorry you have to go back to proof-room but then you can't expect too much all at once, can you dearie?
Mrs Connor is growing in my favor since she is so kind to you. That luncheon sounded so good.
Well, I guess we better not get into politic's I got quite a kick out of Al's speech as you probably knew, altho I never cared much for him. I love you just the same even if we don't agree entirely. Ha! Ha!
Will try to see "A Feather in her Hat". I know it was one of the pictures I wanted to see, while I was laid up. Jane and I saw "Claudette Colbert" in "The Bride Comes Home". yesterday. Just fair. I never saw as good a picture as the one she & Clarke Gable were in "It happened one night."
Jane is here, with the Golden Rule Man ordering her fool head off and I sitting here trying to concentrate. In the meantime I shall try hard to finish this letter.
It is much milder out to-day, but paper states storms and colder. The house has been very comfortable and we have been so cozy. Jane has put big chunks of wood in the furnace.
If I could only have found people like Jane when I was going out with W.W. They certainly must have her number.
Well, darling, I hope the next time I write, I can be alone with my tho'ts. Oodles of love and millions of kisses from
Muddikins.
Jane sends love.
