Notes

Text: “Saturday afternoon. My Own Dearest - Your letter was brought to me in chem. Lab this morning, and I surely did enjoy it. Also the one yesterday afternoon was given me in lab - where I proceeded to read it to Charlie and gents (that is such parts as were appropriate that they should hear!). The show you spoke of “Anna Arcends” is to be here tomorrow, and we have all decided to take time out and go and see it. Charle W. Is very satisfied with his new name, but we’re anxious to see what he looks like on the screen. You certainly must be sending presents to all of your many acquaintances and friends - judging from the shopping your [sic] doing! Or does shopping necessarily mean buying - I’m told it doesn’t always with a woman! I guess I’ll have to do most of mine Saturday next - if I’m able to get around any by that time - for I’m afraid I’ll be up the greater part of Tues., Wed., and […] of Thursday nights! I am coming on pretty well with my E. A. work, but its taking a good deal of time; I want to […] it absolutely perfectly before I go up for the exam Wed. night. No, we haven’t succeeded in robbing a bank - but each of us has by now received ample transportation money for the holidays, so that our whole attention can now be devoted to our calling. We’re getting some real good stuff in chemistry now, and I actually stayed about 15 minutes overtime in lab this morning to finish an analysis. On the way out from the lodge last night I stayed at the […] and saw Viola Dana in “June Maolalas” - and it surely was a hot show. I surely do wish I could be there for your little play at school; that must be mighty interesting and lots of fun — incidentally lots of work for you. This is the worst town for changing rom cold to hot in a half a day I ever saw. Last night it was cold as the mischief, and this morning we ran armed in our shirt-sleeves not the least bit uncomfortable. I’ve almost lost all my Xmas spirit in all this work we’ve got piled on us — but I’ll bet I get it back about next Friday night! — and Saturday night I know — or do I get a late Saturday night? Yes? My, I want to see you, to be with you every minute I possibly can all during these ten days. About coming up during the spring - yes, I might to be able to make one trip at least, round about Easter - Or we could meet in Houston, or anywhere. There goes the dinner bell — so I’ll have to hurry if I want anything. I love you, I love you. I’ll say I’ll pay ‘em back - with compound interest. Your own, Felix.”
