March 27, 1924 (3rd letter) Austin to Brookline, Massachuestts

 Dearest Darling, etc.,

I was hoping for another letter today like the one I got yesterday – I got fooled, but I guess you've been busy having a good time, so I'll forgive you.

Don't forget that you owe me just as many letters as I've written you, though I don't care when you pay up.

Ralph went up to see the dean today to get the final decision, as to whether or not he could stay in school, but the dean told him to come back tomorrow. One of the other boys up here, Leachman of Amarillo, had to sign a withdrawal card this morning. You had better think about that bet if you want me to come back here in Sept.

Now that I've told you all the news, how about a little sweet talk, darling. I guess it gets tiresome so I'll hold back. I would like to know, though, if you really to think of me sometime. Remember how you suggested that we both look at the moon at the same time every night, and think of each other. I've been sorry that we didn't do it ever since. I think of you so much, that I believe it would have been a lot better for me if I could have concentrated it down to just a few minutes every night. Well anyway, dearest, maybe we'll both look at the moon (and the stars, Miss Astronomerette) at the same time and together this summer, whatchasay?

Love,

Henry

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
