We'll leave them both out

Dearest Snaky [line with arrow on each side points between above words and old and fresh crossed out] Egg,

Well, old girl, I got pretty fair letter from you yesterday, and then I got another long, sweet one from you today. I guess you've had a pretty gay and giddy time lately, but now you're going to have to get down to work again. Misery loves company, and I'll know you won't be in any mischief, so I'm glad you are going to have go back to school – but then of course you know I hate to have you study too hard.

I've had me a delightful quiz in English already this term, and I'm booked for one in ZO, Thursday, and one in Physics, Sat. But in spite of 'em and in spite of my not having done any work this time, I'm going down to watch a baseball game and get a little recreation – how about the bet. I don't mind the collects, that you said something about, the least bit. I just adores collects.

You also said something about my becoming wearied with all the snapshots you have sent me. You've sent me two. Please send me all that you can get your hands on – good, bad, or indifferent. You know I haven't seen you for so long that ----------------------------------------------

Oh, I have still another dissipation to tell you about. Ralph + H. Moore + I went to see Scaramouche – lots of action in the picture – and we each took a long healthy drink. Cokes.

Well, it's about time I get down to the game. I'll put a couple of stamps on this envelope (envelope carrying this) so that you won't be annoyed by the dreaded “collect.”

Fare thee Well,

Henry .

P.S. It is with greatest dread that I look forward to my date you next June – Apl. Fool. – this is Apl. 1st.

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
