Dearest Sweetie-Pie :-
Here I am teeth and all writing you a few lines to let you know that I am still able to keep going. An and Marge like them very much and I like them better than I tho't I (was) would.
I weakened a trifle and wept in the Dentist's office. Am I "requested"! They hurt like the dickens for a min when he put them in and then for a second the tho't came over me that I would always have to have all that "crockery" in my mouth, & I wanted a cry a week. Dr. Andrews gave me a pill for my nerves and everything was okey. [sic] I was so ashamed of my weakness at this stage of the game, but am feeling fine now. Have an appointment in the morning and then he will give me some pointers, as to the care of them etc. He wants me to stay around so that I wont [sic] have any trouble when I get to N.Y. It won't be too long now, I hope. Don't you feel encouraged?
Jane had her impression yesterday. Well, we will see which one gets the best teeth. I don't think Dr. Andrews is quite satisfied with the way mine hit in back, but he will fix that alright. Yesterday, I felt that I would'nt be able to talk, but I came home and read a story to Billy, one of his small books. Soon, I will eat, and then I will have some more fun.
Billy's story, continued from his Feb 24 chapter
