Text: “Tuesday afternoon. Sweetheart — I have just finished that chemistry quiz, and got there a little early so that I had a few minutes before my 4 o’clock class so thought I ought to run over and write you — and get this key off to you I hope you haven’t needed it too much. I suppose your Dad had another one. My, I wish I could talk to you all afternoon — I didn’t want to go to that old Mat. Med. class! Please excuse me, I hear you will, for not getting to write you last night, but after having slept only about two hours on the train Sunday night, then studying till twelve last night for this quiz, I was pretty tired, anyway, I knew you’d understand! Alexander and Fish, who also left on the same train from Austin missed the interurban in Houston the next morning - didn’t get up in time; but the rest of us - there were several more - made it all right, and got into Galveston at 15 min. to eight - just barely did make that eight o’clock class! I don’t see how I could have made more than 75 in this quiz this afternoon, ‘cause out of four questions I only answered three! It’s very war mere today — and the mosquitoes are just about to carry me off - so if my letter sounds jerky, please just take time out while I saw a few! One more quiz in the morning, then only the regular grind for the rest of the week. I hope I can keep up my rep by making a good grade on it (histology) ‘cause Robert Lee Gorman - the assistant in it last year — the same place Cary Poindexter now has, told me last night hew went to see Dr. Shaefer yesterday afternoon and asked her how I was getting along — and that she had said “Very well, very well indeed — in fact he is an exceptionally good student”! My, I was glad to hear that — ‘cause they say impression counts as a whole lot with her. You’ll excuse me of course for telling you all this about myself — but you know how it is — I wouldn’t tell anybody else. But since you do love me “little bit” — maybe you would be interested and know how to take it. Sweetheart, how can I ever tell you how much I enjoyed the few days I got to be with you — the few blissful hours I got to spend - you know where. I enjoyed every minute of it. Tell your mother again how much I enjoyed that good dinner Sunday — and the lemon pie! — But don’t tell her just how much I enjoyed the supper in Union Creek, the moonlight and you — the night before! Kiss me - I love you. Al the boys wanted to know if I had delivered their individual messages —and Ted Terry seemed especially tickled when he asked about the message with regard to the candy — and I told him yes — it had been delivered word for word! Several of ‘em said “My we never expected to see you come back alone!” Dear, it’s nearly time for that class, so I’d better run on. I am anxiously looking forward to a long letter from you tomorrow. Hows school after the holidays? Do you find it hard to keep your mind on your work? - - - I do! Kiss me again - indefinitely — no, I’ve got to hurry to class! Your Own Felix.”
