March 15, 1928, Baltimore to El Paso

Dearest, Things progress as usual, except that among other things, I've been combatting a cold for the past 3 or four days. I had a quiz in Gynecological and Obstetrical pathology yesterday – Guess I hit it all right, but not any too well – and furthermore there's a possibility of a quiz in obstetrics tomorrow. I had an interesting case in the dispensary today; and my diagnosis was as good as any ones else, so that tickled me a little bit. Only a couple of months till the next siege of exams – and then a few weeks more, and I'll be seeing you. Somehow – I've got the blues a little bit tonight, + I sure wish you were with me, to shove them off or chase them away as the case might be. Tomorrow I take a half-hour ride out to Bay view. The nut factory is located out there + and we look them over about once a month. Bively + his girl have just come in – I asked her what to tell you and she said, “I love you.” So consider it said, dear. I only wish that I could think of a few more ways to say it. Do you have fits of dreaming, as I do , sweetheart, about next year. It all seems a mighty long way off. I'm sorry I can't make this a little longer , dear; but I'm afraid that's the best I can do. Love, Henry .
