April 13, 1924, Austin to Northhampton, Massachusetts

My Dear Young Lady,


Weather ForeCast:-


Fair + Warmer – slightly moist. .

I've gone to the dogs for a certainty now... I withdraw my wager. Now I guess you see what you Cheated yourself out of.

You ought to be here with me so I could take you to all these games – but I guess its a good thing you aren't, because I haven't got but $2.00 to last me the rest of the month (today's the 13th), and I can't find a blessed thing that I can hock or sell.

In just about a couple of months, we'll both be back in old El Paso town, and then I guess we'll be wishing we were back here.

I'm in a helen of a predicament. Ive got 3 (three) themes to write – 2 of them due several days ago-- and the last one has to be a description of a portrait in the library, and the library is locked up. Oh, well, what difference does it make whether I pass or buss out? Helen won't – reward me if I pass, and that's the only reason I want to pass.

I trust that you + your friends are all healthy + happy.

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
