Notes

Text: "Saturday afternoon. My Sweetheart - Is the sweetest sweetheart in all the world, and I love her with all my heart. I enjoyed your letter so much this morning, dear. I feel just like you say, that I am going to be with you soon is the only thing that interests me at all -- well, I won't say "at all," because I would like to know something definite about these grades; but you know what I mean -- I think of Austin, of you continually. So you bought an Opera book, that's fine. You know, after all good classical music is the only real music and is the only music that can be truly enjoyed in the right way. I get so -- almost hungry for some good music sometimes, and could sit ever so long and listen to it. I have often tried to picture just how happy I would be, just you -- oh well, I'll be raving if I don't stop now! Fish is getting the car ready to go to Houston now. Jimmie's J[...] have been on the Majestic there this week, and everybody has gone wild about them, so I guess we'll take in the Majestic tonight It's kinda foggy, and may rain, but we're going ahead anyway. I've got to change my clothes and shave, and they're already almost ready to go - so. You know what I want most of all, whom I love most of all, and where I'll be two weeks from today! My regards to all -- and my love to ----- Miss Brown!(?) Your Own Felix."
