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...

Dearest, Things progress as usual, except that among other things, I've been combatting a cold for the past 3 or four days. I had a quiz in Gynecological and Obstetrical pathology yesterday – Guess I hit it all right, but not any too well – and furthermore there's a possibility of a quiz in obstetrics tomorrow. I had an interesting case in the dispensary today; and my diagnosis was as good as any ones else, so that tickled me a little bit.

Somehow – I've got the blues a little bit tonight, + I sure wish you were with me, to shove them off or chase them away as the case might be. Tomorrow I take a half-hour ride out to Bay view. The nut factory is located out there + and we look them over about once a month. Bively + his girl have just come in – I asked her what to tell you and she said, “I love you.” So consider it said, dear. I only wish that I could think of ...

Dearest Egg, 'splain yo'self. How come you didn't write to me and tell me where you would be as soon as you knew. Here I've been flunking all my exams just so I could write to you – uselessly . Don't you think you owe me something for that. I'm perfectly satisfied with your grades whether Dr. Roberts is or not. I think 79 th in a class of over 600 in a place like Smith is good enough for anybody. Tell him I said so, and then of course he'll think so too. I've been leading a gay life over the weekend. In spite of my bankrupt condition I cashed a hot check, and Ralph and H. Moore and I took in “When A Man's A Man.” This afternoon I've spent all my time burning matches to see whether or not you loved me. They all broke off; does it mean that you don't love me any more or did I just get a bum box of matches. Have you been having a good time? Write and tell me all about it, Honey. Well its about time for me to hear my bedtime story (4:30 P...
