December 7, 1927, Balitmore to El Paso

Dearest, Things are going as usual, except that we had a quiz in obstetrics this afternoon. Guess I got by. We had a beautiful sleet storm Sunday, with a lot of slush everywhere, but today it was sunny + not so cold. So much for the weather report. I love you. Now what can I say? Xmas is only 3 weeks away. But somehow it doesn't mean so much this year, since I won't be seeing you. I don't know how to advise you to invest your money. I hope I'll be coming home next summer, + I will unless something pretty good turns up, so I'm afraid I can't advise you to go to Europe next summer. But suit yourself. Football season is all over now, so I guess EPHS will be turning its attention to basketball – which means, I suppose, that you will have to do some extra work with the dullard basket-ball players. How I envy them! Well, dearest, I guess thats about all. Love, as usual, Henry P.S. I think its about time for another tress of hair – if you haven't had it cut again. Are you having some more pictures made this year? P.S. I just addressed an envelope to Smith College; so if you miss a letter once in a while, you'll know why.

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
