Text: “Saturday night. My Very Own — I am afraid this letter will not get finished in time to catch that night train so that you may not get it till Monday — and I’m sorry, to have neglected you so, but I had a treat right after supper I could hardly refuse. A bunch of the Phi Chi;s came after me and I went with them and have been playing over there since then and it’s now nearly ten — played my violin for the first time since summer, and surely enjoyed it. And one of the boys over there surely can play the piano wonderfully, really good music — he has given concerts all by himself — and he played “All that I want, all that I crave in this world is you” to send me off — I told him I had to come home and write you — what could be more wonderful than night time and you. I love you. We really had a very enjoyable evening — they have bought a new baby grand — as I believe I told you, and played everything from operas to “blues.” The physiology quiz yesterday was a Jonah — as we had expected: three questions, and one of them a problem on osmotic pressure, which about 1/2 of the class missed — and I figured it out the last five minutes of the period, rather did not see clear thru it until the. Felt real proud of myself for getting it. I should have made about a B — but you never can tell. Next week is when we are to catch all the — 11! Histology, anatomy. Bacteriology, all due about the close of next week — and the dance Friday night! Means a little study — a few times up till way past the midnight hour. No, we haven’t been swimming any more — in fact we’ve been wearing overcoats to school! That’s how the weather changes here. But it’s changing back again, and this should be the last cold spell of the year. I surely wish I could have been there to take you out for a plunge in the Butons or Deep Eddy before school — to try to pep you up! We saw “Heroes of the Street” this afternoon (Wesly Barry) and I thought it was very good for that type of show. You have seen it, I believe, and remember how pathetic the scene was after the murder of the father — the multitudinous school children who had come to see their Wesly Barry wept and sobbed all around us. It was real pathetic to watch them. “Robin Hood” won’t be here till April, but we’’ll see it on your recommendation when it does come. I am not surprised to hear the news about Kitchener. No, you never can tell, but you can usually have a pretty good “hunch.” But really I didn’t believe I would have thought that of him. Everybody has gone to the dance, and the house is as quiet as a mouse — except for all the windows rattling in the wind — and they certainly do that. Tell Miss Brown I appreciate what she said — or was that meant for me to know? Anyway, she doesn’t know me as well as — somebody else I know of she wouldn’t have thought so — […]? My sweetheart, I’d give anything to be able to kiss you goodnight tonight, to hold you just for a minute. Love me? Only me? I am, All yours, Felix.”
