8/10/23 My Dearest Florence; First I will tell you why I haven’t written for the last few days. I have been working 12 hrs per day and Comstock and another boy (Huffer) are here from home and I am trying to get them a job. You see I don’t get home till 12 o’clock P.M. […]
Monday 8 am 8-6-23 My Darling Florence; How goes it this most beautiful morning? I am sure you think I am the ____ of a boy for not letting you get a letter this morning. I know you expected one. Your last letter was so indifferent, but let’s not fuss about such a small thing. […]
Houston, Tex Aug 3, 1923 My Dearest Little Girl, I had quite a surprise this morning. Something that I did not expect so soon. I had just gotten back from town and Emily told me that I had a letter. I did not expect to hear so soon from you. But Dear it made me […]
This is a poor effort, big boy but it was written under great pressure – especially the last. The rhyme might be wrong, but the exact idea is here, C? Anyway, take it as it is meant. Peace It is midnite – the lights are all turned out. And the world is quiet and still, […]
Port Arthur, Tex July 30, 1923 My Dearest Florence; Just received that newsy letter today. I believe you left Sat, did you not. It is now 8:00 p.m. and I know you are in bed fast asleep. The country is so apetizing too. Don’t eat lots out in the country. So cool. The roosters awaken […]

Port Arthur Tex July 25, 1923 My Darling Florence; Glad to hear you have had such a wonderful time on your birthday. I sure wished I could have been there to see you enjoy them. Didn’t it bother your leg. It must be OK. I have surely worried about it since you wrote. You know […]
Port Arthur Tex July 24, 1923 My Dearest Darling Florence; This is the day isn’t it. This is the great day but for one thing. It’s so unfortunate that this thing had to happen. I am sure sorry and I am worried about hot you are. I am sure you are very much worried too. […]
If you have recently started reading the letters and have not checked out early ones, why don’t you take a moment to explore the first posts? The first one is from Florence as she goes through her day at Central High School. Thank you to all who have been following along. Feel free to comment […]
Sunday 7-22-23 My Dearest Florence; You have passed over the line now. The 16th is gone and the 17th has started. Do you feel so ancient as all that. Isn’t it awful to get so old when you feel so young. Sure seems queer, eh? I wish you a happy time on this day when […]
