9:30 pm Fredibus, dear, Can yo bear with me for a very few minutes?? I hope so. If you can’t, well – but why think of that. A few minutes ago, I was out looking at the glorious stars – Memories? Oh, wonderful ones. Orion was beaming down – and all the rest that some […]
May 1923 (undated) 2 p.m. – Standard time Dearest big boy ‘o mine. Blue? Big boy, why be blue? What if we are separated this summer – 3 months. Don’t you know that true love never fades or dies! Don’t you know that if you really care for me, there’s not a girl on earth […]
To Rice Dearest big adorable track ☆(I told you I couldn’t make a star) The school is ringing with your praises. I’ve been stopped by so many and congratulated for you. It simply thrills me to death. It’s almost like my own success because I hear so many wonderful things. Oh! even the boys talk […]
[Note: though the date written later by Florence says “3-27-23”, the 27th fell on a Tuesday that year, so I have changed the date ahead accordingly.] Wednesday.

Fred – Fred, send me some knowlege of Latin – I’ve got my paper up here right in front of my and it looks like my head feels – absolutely empty. I’ve exhausted my store of knowlege on one test today and my brain refuses to function on another. I’ve been gazing out the window […]
Just finished my history exams and I’ve got to go to my Latin exam as soon as the bell rings which will be in about 5 minutes. The exam wasn’t so hard – rather long – I wrote 6 pages of big theme paper but I write that much to you so why not write […]
Jan 18, 1923 Dearest beloved, There are times when you just can’t get your mind on lessons. I’m like that now. The facts of the case are that I’ve got a bad ankle and it’s hurting so much I can’t hardly think straight. Yesterday, I was hopping around as I always do for you know […]
