May27, 1924, Austin to Northampton

 

Ma chère compagne,


My excuses for writing so soon are:

1. As usual, I don't feel like studying a durn bit, though I ought to;

2. I'm hoping I'll get energetic and be too busy to write you during exams.

3. To tell you that my El Paso address is 1110 E. Rio Grande, and that I won't be here after the 4th, and that I'll be expecting some letters after I get there.

Except for the above, I haven't anything to say.

Exams are just two days away, and I've got so much work stacked up, that I haven't the nerve to begin on it.

Mother said the other day that Jim Turner had finally gone to Europe. Have you heard anything from him or the rest of the gang?

Well, old Girl, in 2 wks + 2 days I'll be seeing you.

Try not to be disappointed when we do get together again.

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
