Houston, Texas

My Dearest Florence,

Gee, this is the most lonesome place I have seen in several days. I am looking forth to Sunday night with great anxiety. You know it drives the blues away and gives me inspiration when I go out to see you. A little enjoyment of that kind (the kind you show me) does a great deal to loosen up a person’s head after long thinking. You know, just similar to dissolving clods with water to make mud pies.

I am so glad that you liked the pin so much. I am sure you appreciate it, the way you expressed it is fully convincing.

I can think of the happy days (tonite) when you came out to see me in the afternoons. Somehow I cannot keep the blues back I am looking forward to see you some afternoon again when school is in full swing.

Florence, words cannot express how I enjoyed those afternoons. If you are ever away from home in school, then I am sure you realize how things go at times. When the blues come, you may not be able to see until then.

Well old dear, I will have to say good night for this time.

As ever,

Fred

PS. Got my grades today. Came out OK. Sure was some relief, too.
