October 1, 1923 Austin to Northhampton, Massachusetts

 Sunday a.m.

Dearest Helen,

I had just decided that you weren't going to write to me anymore when your second letter came the other day. (I don't see how it is that I owe you so many, I've received two letters and this is the third I have written. I sure wish you would make your letters a little longer. Your second one was a little more like it.

    I'm glad Mary L. is going to stay, and that everything's so "jake." I believe your Mother misses you almost as much as I do, but my Mother said she seems to be feeling better now.

    I wish you would ship a few of your "beautiful creatures" down here, they don't grow down this way. By the way, I heard that M. L. thought there was a "cute" boy on the train with you. Were you dancing with him in those "quiet, secluded corners." There are bunch of wild looking ones down here, and I expect there are a lot of wild ones up there, so watch you step. I think I'll have to start up a correspondence with M. L. and get a line on you.

    Dearest, are you thinking about what I told you to think about, that last night?

Love,

    Henry.

September 19, 1925, Telegram from train to El Paso

Weather report – warm – too warm, + sunny. Description of Scenery – flat fields generally, like those in Kas., with a few hills + trees which are very comforting to the eyes. En Route to – Columbus, between St. L. + Indianapolis. I guess Freddie is all right, but she's sure a nuisance, and shes still with me. I'll see the last of her in Indianapolis, though. I tried to dodge her in St.L., but they wouldn't let me on the next train.

Dearest Helen, This is the second epistle to you for today – I don't know whether I will send the first one or not, but any way it's written, indicating that something unusual has happened in my young life – I guess I'm just beginning to realize how much I really do love you. I've never been so lonesome for you in my life, and I'm going to have to see you at Xmas some way or other, though at present I don't know how. I've been taking things easy today – took my grandmother for a ride this afternoon, + that's about all. Well, I guess when I do get started working, I'll have to work like the dickens to try to forget about you. Love, Henry

Dearest Helen, I'm off the train at last, but I've still got the clickety-click in my ears – and all the songs you sang to me keep running through my head, keeping time. I've got the blues – for you I guess I could have stayed a few days longer as well as not. And I don't see why I didn't now. You can't realize how much I miss you. I don't feel normal without you. Well, I guess I'll get out of this crazy spell some time. Love, Henry
