March 20, 1928, Baltimore to El Paso

Dearest, Your “special” was a very pleasant surprise, Sunday, and was so unexpected that it lay around all day before I saw it. The Baltimore educational system seems to enjoy putting up obstacles for us. Your trip up here in May would be a little bit expensive, but its foolish for you doubt your ability to pass them; although I know very well how any examination can cause worry. I have one in Neurology tomorrow, by the way, + I haven't any conception of the course. You said something our being married cause some sort of prejudice in the school. I don't believe that's involved at all. There are several of the boys in my class now who are married. Of course this step we're thinking of taking needs careful consideration. From my point of view , I can see no disadvantages. From yours, its up to you. If you think you love me enough , I think everything will work out O.K. You, of course, are taking a big chance on my ability as a provider. There is no way of letting whether I will ever be able to make enough money to keep you comfortable or not. Thats just a chance you will have to take. So much for more business, Sweetheart. I think you can at least imagine how much I want you. There was promise of Spring in the air today ; the sun was shining, + the sky was clear; but the temperature was a little too low to suit my southern blood. The old routine goes on as usual, with nothing of interest to write about – In 3 weeks we get a few days vacation for Easter + in 7 weeks exams start – It doesn't seem so very long since we've finished the midyears. How long is your hair? It hasn't been reported for several weeks. Love, Henry
