Hope you have grand time over week-end.

Dearest Jeanie-Beanie:-
Your nice card rec'd a few minutes ago and will write you a very business-like letter to-day.
First, I must tell you how I progressed and where you will, I hope, enter into the picture. Went to the Bank Mon. & Tues. to try to get them to release. A.T.&.T. stock which at present is about $850.00 for five shares. Told them I would reduce the note $300.00, but that was not enough. Of course I could'nt put up anything more of mama's - not even her Certificate of Deposit on those two bonds. We finally got down to Ins. policies. They would'nt take mine as they were weekly policies and not so good. So I got yours out. I am not borrowing cash on them as I said I did'nt want to do that but they have to be assigned to bank and they keep them as collateral. Now dearie would you mind terribly? Then too the note will be a joint one with your signature. attached. It will be better that way so if anything should happen to me you could still have everything without red tape. Am going to give you some figures on the other paper.
I feel about as big as a peanut, and when I get to N.Y. am going to work and pull myself out of this hole. I don't see how you can write such darling letters to me and think so much of your old failure. Am so disgusted with myself. Was going to see Nina or Helen, but this way is really best. You see, dearie, the banking laws are so very strict now, and they have surely been wonderful to me. It was a very disagreeable task, but so much better in the end, for me, in more ways than one.
The E.J. stock registered in papa's name, is the bone of contention now. I have to go to see about that to-day. His estate may have to be opened again. Such a business. You may be lonely at times, but brothers and Sisters will never cause you any trouble.
That was so cute! Tillie will come with the Spring, dearie. Have three appointments Mon. with the dentist, so will go up Sun. Won't it be grand when that is over?
Don't worry about your work dearie. You are a little sensitive and too self conscious. But your [sic] wonderful!
Was'nt that strange about that poem? Yes, I love you more than that. My, should'nt I? No one is so fortunate as I, and that's what makes [me] feel so badly. If only I had'nt been so greedy. O, Well - - - Such is life and T.K.
The capsules Cecile took were about $3.50 a box but I am glad you are taking those. Will ask her when I see her again. They told me that time that those pills were just a trial at McNitt's. Dr's are sent lots of free samples. I think if there was a charge, he would have put it on bill.
Am feeling pretty good, dearie, had a lame shoulder yesterday, but better to-day. Its [sic] the weather. Its [sic] lovely to-day. The sun is shining and snow is fast disappearing.
Jane has radio on now and it is bad for my concentration, but I will ans. your other letter to-morrow, dearie. Won't we have so much to talk about when we get to-gether?
Had a letter from Mrs. Pease and she is expecting me in very soon. O, dear, do I want to leave my peegee, to go "wonder worlding"? I want to make a lot of money to repay you, dearie. Please don't worry. Wish I did'nt have to tell you all this, but you see you have to be my stand-up by.
All my love and kisses
your darling
"Muddikins"
Jane sends love.
