June 1, 1924, Austin to Northampton

Dear Helen,

I just got your last sweet letter with the violet. I hope you get a square meal pretty soon. I guess I'll get my next letter from you – if I get one – in El Paso.

I guess we're both enjoying the pleasures of exams by this time. I took my Physics final yesterday afternoon and the got the papers graded last night – I got 52, and I guess that lets me out-- the back door.

I guess I'll start packing up today. I've got Chem the afternoon of the 4th, and the train leaves at 7, so I don't know whether I'll make it or not. The same exam took me from 2 – 7 : 30 last term.

Well, dear, cram up good for the exams and make some good grades for me.

There's no news but the old news – I love you.

Henry.

P.S. You don't seem to be expecting a very great disappointment when you see me, but you had better prepare for the worst.

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
