May 19,1924, Austin to Northampton

 

Dear Helen,

Well, old sweetheart, I've been out chasing bugs all morning and hence feel a little buggier than usual. I got specimens in about 8 different orders.

I did finally get a letter from you, and since you said you had written so many that I didn't get, I've followed your advice, and brought suit against the P.O.

There are a bunch of J.A. Law students over at the boarding house, and I've hired the whole bunch of them to recover my lost mail.

If you can't skate without getting all banged up, you had better quit trying, because I want you to be looking your best when I get to see you.

I can't cut any more classes now, and I've got to do some studying if I want to stay in the University----I got put on probation last week. Didn't I tell you that you ought to have accepted my proposed bet, if you wanted to save me from perdition.

Love per usual,

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
