Dear Jayne, Howd your shirt get ripped are you awright? I do worry bout you and the others. Hows River and whatd you mean bout Simon? We took the cat Kaylee calls him Lion cause hes devoted to her. That book you sent said he would be. Hes a special breed very expensive the vet said boy you didn’t do anything stupid to get him did you? The wedding aint fei oo itll be all kinds of fine just wait and see. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Im awright the shirt got ripped at the last whorehouse. Crazy girls better like I said and Doc says can fly the ship again soon. He treats her like shes a baby its irritating. The cat aint stole the woman I bodyguarded gave me him for a discount. We got us a job smuggling liquor be right up my alley if Mal would let me drink some. Hows Mattie? Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Im sorry asking bout the cat. I know youd do lots more than steal for our girl and I worry. I see it aint stopped you visiting whorehouses though what did I tell you about that? The Captain was right stopping you drinking the cargo that aint right. Mattie caught a cold but aint even bed rid! Simon worries about his sister is all be more patient. Have you called him by name yet? Talk about irritating boy. I used your coin to buy paint and me and Kaylee are painting the house. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, I worry bout you and Mattie but dont drive you mad fussing do I? No wonder the Moonbrains crazy probably was afore the Alliance got to her. Doing for my ownself gets old I gotta get my ashes hauled sometime you know. The ship got banged up some cause we had to fight off boarders they were trying to get the cargo. Mal and me got shot Love Jayne

Jayne I wish youd tell me more sometimes Im so worried. Are you awright and whats happening with Simon? Kaylees upset over something he said it aint the usual worry. Its deeper somehow. Is River flying yet and is she and the other girls ok? Weve finished painting downstairs and are doing the bedrooms now. Your ashes would be fine if you looked at a decent girl now and then. Look after yourself boy. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Sorry I wrote in a hurry Zoë needed to get going. Only me and Mal got hurt he got nicked on his arm. I got shot in the stomach and was out of it for a coupla days. Don’t worry Im fine now just confined to the ship for a bit is all. We dropped the cargo and got a bonus heres some coin. Don’t know bout the Doc hes acting weirder than normal though. Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Im glad youre feeling better. River wrote and said what you did. You did good boy. You take it easy till youre ready please be sensible. If youre sick whos looking after the engine? Kaylee will want to know shes busy right now back at the mines. We finished painting the whole house its looking real fine for the wedding. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Captain hired another mechanic so the engines fine ships still banged up a mite though. Im taking it easy dont get much chance to do anything with everyone watching me. Cant even lift my weights. Nara got us another job smuggling dresses like before so I got plenty of time to rest up. Whats Kaylee doing at the mines? You know about Mattie and Moonbrain don’t you? Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Kaylees working on the lifts and such they nearly had a big accident there. Mattie and River are interested in each other is that what you mean? Kaylee fixed the old hothouse and Im growing some flowers for the wedding. Mattie got me the seeds special I was so surprised. You aint said much bout the new mechanic whats he like? How are you boy are you lifting your weights yet? Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Yeah Im back lifting though I have to take it slow. Zoë or the Crazy girl spot for me theyre as good as you at nagging. We shifted the dresses already just as well too the girls were getting all grabby. The mechanic aint bad I guess. We had to dock at the shipyards for repairs Mals complaining again. Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, I dont blame the girls the captures River sent last time showed some beautiful dresses. Im glad youre getting better and what do you mean nagging? Caring bout someone and looking out for them isnt nagging you know boy. Accept your friends help Im so glad you’ve got them. Hows the ship are you flying yet? Kaylee finally told me whats wrong. Did you know her and Simon broke up? If you didnt keep it to yourself boy dont do anything stupid. Love your Mother

Dear Ma, The ships fixed and were flying. Mals lined us up work transporting gorramn cows to Greenleaf. I sold some of my gatherings planetside so heres some coin and something for Mattie. I used some to get new bullets for Vera and Cassie. Caring nagging it all gives me an uncomfortableness. I aint gonna say anything when he finds out Mal will do it for me. Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Youre a good boy looking after us like you do. You dont see me or Mattie being uncomfortable with it do you? Caring for someone aint all bad remember. Mattie says the puzzle is one of the hardest youve ever sent him and Kaylee spent ages on it. Kaylees still working at the mine two days a week and is helping me with the flowers she needs to keep busy right now. Are you all healed up now? Love your Mother

Dear Ma, Im healed and back to working full weights carrying Vera and watching the engine. The mechanic bailed on us at Greenleaf when we dropped the cows. Were headed for the whorehouse we visited before. The folks there were attacked by Reavers and need to rebuild they hired us to bring lumber. Maybe they’ll make the house look better this time. Doc still aint said anything how long am I supposed to keep quiet? Love Jayne

Dear Jayne, Boy dont start trouble think of Kaylee. Im sure Simons feeling as bad about it as she is and he aint good at talking remember. What happened to the mechanic this time? It makes me wonder how come Kaylees lasted as long as she has. Ive been knitting again so Im sending gifts hope you like them. Im glad to hear youre better how is everyone else? Love your Mother

LMAO! You just about made me dump my Dr. Pepper all over myself laughing at how Jayne's shirt got ripped *rolls about helplessly* I like how Jayne says River's probably been driven crazy by Simon even before she was snagged by Alliance and ROFL about "your ashes would be fine" XD DDDD

I enjoyed reading about the girls "getting all grabby", that's such a Jayne way of putting it! And Caring nagging it all gives me an uncomfortableness .... oh, Jayne. Jayne, Jayne, Jayne *shakes head fondly*

And they finally broke up!!!!!!!! \0/

I mean, how sad and tragic :p Go get you some, Jaynie!

OMG they broke up!! Wow. I mean, wow. Though I'm not sure why I'm shocked, considering who's writing this...*g*

You just gotta know that Jayne is hell on his wardrobe: between the ravages at the whorehouse and crazy li'l girls with butcher's knives and bullits and such...well, I suspect nothing lasts too long.

And you used my name for Jayne's pistol!!! (Cassie). *MGG squees!* (Actually BBM came up with that one long before he knew AB called it Boo).

I think that's why Jayne has so many t-shirts - he needs them to replace the ruined ones :D I liked that name for the pistol - it matches Vera well...
