March 19, 1924, Austin to Norwich, Connecticut

Dearest Googlum,

They're (exams) all over. I've just been over to get my Physics paper – got 71. Congratulations are in order. (its 11 P.M. at present So I'll try to make this short + sweet.

My biggest worry now is Chem. ---- Oh, Hel!en I'm going to forget about 'em.

Just before I got my paper, Ralph + Henry Moore and I got wreckless and indulged in Came Kirby. It was pretty good, but nothing extra.

I haven't heard yet whether or not my bet has been accepted.

Time out for ears.

I've been out relieving my knawing pains of hunger in the Cozy Café.

It's 20 minutes of 12, about 3 hrs past my bedtime.

I'll try to write more coherent and interesting letters hereafter, and I'll get them off so they won't come two on the same day.

Much love, dear, my eyes are about shot,

Henry .

August 3, 1921

 Mt. Healthy, Ohio August 3, 1921 Dear Helen:-     I was away on a two weeks vacation when your picture came, so it was a good while before I was able to send you a letter in return. That surely is a good picture of you and thanks ever so much for sending it. I worked in the ice cream  factory until the third of week of July and then went camping on the Ohio river (which has water in, being unlike your Rio Grande). While I was gone, there was a fire in town, a little girl was run over and killed and the mayor (John Knox) committed suicide, all of which go to show that the town is helpless without me . I have grown some since last summer and am not a little child now. I would not be afraid to bet you a dollar to a doughnut that I am as tall if not taller than you.     I suppose I should have answered that latter you sent  after Christmas, but letter writing is something I am not crazy about, so I let it slide. You seemed to be very busy going to the op...

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.

September 21, 1925, 8 AM, Chillicothe, Ohio, to El Paso

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
