May 2, 1928, Baltimore to El Paso

Dearest, I had an oral exam in Operative surgery Monday morning and was busy writing up autopsies last night until I got writers cramp + had to quit, so my weekly letter will be a couple of days late this week – I believe I'm paid up in advance, though, now, am I not . Less than 4 weeks and school will be over and a few days more, + I'll be seeing you. I don't know when to tell you to leave – better find out at the ticket office. I understood you to say the exams were held the 29th + if thats the case, you will have to leave before the 28th – or 26th or maybe 27th. I guess we had better decide about the boat trip home after you get up here. As I remember Paul Klipps (I'm uncertain about the spelling too ) “Ichabod type” fits him, + it seems to me he has a nose somewhat resembling Eva Belle's, wears glasses with rather thick lenses + has a pretty big vocabulary . and was a Staunch friend of Frank Stansel's , and his mother was a Spanish teacher up at the high school. Is that the one. I remember him, I believe he was a pretty good sort of a kid. Exams are getting mighty near, so I guess I had better quit now + get to work. Love , Henry
