Dear Ma, We delivered the stuff got paid and didn’t even get shot or nothing. Mal was all cocky bout it don’t know why none of it was his doing. We picked up the next load and some passengers I dont like them they give me an uncomfortableness. Moonbrain says well be back in a couple of months love Jayne

Jayne youre as aggravating as ever boy hows Kaylee and Lion and everything on the boat? I hope you didnt say nothing to Mal bout the cockiness hes your Captain remember. Youre earning coin with those passengers be patient and let the others deal with them. Everyone heres still talking bout the wedding we did have a time didnt we? I was glad to see Mattie and you so good and happy. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Kaylees fine ordering me round and all but at least there aint no more lists to read. I didn’t say nothing to the Captain Kaylee hit me with her elbow it hurt like a sonofabitch and I missed my chance. We already dropped the passengers and got us a salvage job heres some coin for you. Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Thanks for the coin boy. If Kaylees ordering you around is her leg still hurting? I do worry about her and miss her. I miss Lion too does he like ship life and you havent said a thing bout Simon not being there hows everyone coping? Ive been to check on him tell River. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Kaylee gets tired sometimes so Im still the gorramn assistant. Her leg dont hurt as much and Im making her do weights. The medic we got sure aint the Doc but he aint riled Mal yet and sewed me up alright. I told the girl what you said shes same as ever. The cat follows Kaylee all over but aint much in the way. Hows Mattie? Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, What do you mean sewed you up alright were you hurt? Thanks for passing my message I bet Rivers missing that brother of hers. He misses her and all of you much as he tries to hide it. Matties still fine and working hard Mr Thames is retiring and the stores gonna be all his and hes so proud. Its getting cold so I picked all the tomatoes and sent some. When I ask questions bout Kaylee I want to know how you two are doing boy and you know it. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Were doing fine don’t guess you wanna know bout the sexing so I aint said much. Tell Mattie he done good. Fella we was doing the salvage for didnt want to pay so I got nicked in the gunplay werent hardly a scratch. Mal got the coin in the end so I bought this last stop. Dont send another letter Zoe says well be there 10 days tops. Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, I aint just asking bout the sexing and you know it boy. Writing to you so regular is in my schedule. I like doing it and it dont cost much so dont be ornery. Mattie and Simon have struck up a friendship those two will be good for each other. Thanks for the oil it worked wonders on the old gun. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Kaylee moved in with me she sure has a lot of stuff. I aint used to sharing with someone whos so gorramn perky all the time and Kaylee says Im grumpy. Mal dont like the cat and the girls dog running round together he says it lowers the tone of the ship. Tell Mattie not to let the Doc turn him into a sissy or nothing. I like your letters. Love Jayne

I love these - you've really made me 'hear' Jayne's voice and you've got him down to a "t" with his "don't let Doc turn him into a sissy" and I can even imagine Mal's disapproval of the animals! :D

If you can 'hear' Jayne then I've succeeded! *twirls* Mal would, on the surface, disapprove of the animals. But I bet he feeds them on the sly and everything :D

Thanks for the lovely comment! *hugs*
