October 25, 1927, Baltimore to El Paso

Dearest, You seem to have swung into the weekly schedule of letter writing at last --- I would appreciate an extra one now and then. By the way, many happy returns of the day. I expect you'll get this around about the happy day. Today was public health day in Baltimore, and the 3d + 4th year classes were honored by 2 clinics, held by a couple of men from abroad. One was from England and the other from Amsterdam. Both were very interesting. This afternoon I had my first written quiz of the year – on Pathology of the Central Nervous System. I've got a little more reading to do to night before I go to bed, so I guess I'd better get started. You know I love you dear. I hope you can arrange to be a little big nearer to me next year than you are now. Love, Henry

August 3, 1921

 Mt. Healthy, Ohio August 3, 1921 Dear Helen:-     I was away on a two weeks vacation when your picture came, so it was a good while before I was able to send you a letter in return. That surely is a good picture of you and thanks ever so much for sending it. I worked in the ice cream  factory until the third of week of July and then went camping on the Ohio river (which has water in, being unlike your Rio Grande). While I was gone, there was a fire in town, a little girl was run over and killed and the mayor (John Knox) committed suicide, all of which go to show that the town is helpless without me . I have grown some since last summer and am not a little child now. I would not be afraid to bet you a dollar to a doughnut that I am as tall if not taller than you.     I suppose I should have answered that latter you sent  after Christmas, but letter writing is something I am not crazy about, so I let it slide. You seemed to be very busy going to the op...

September 21, 1925, 8 AM, Chillicothe, Ohio, to El Paso

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

September 21, 1925, Chillicothe, Ohio, to El Paso

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
