Text: "Sunday night. My Sweetheart: You may have been able to guess from the "Rain, rain, rain" on the back of yesterday's letter that we didn't go to Houston. The rain kept up all afternoon & night, and has been going all day today to say nothing of one of the coldest northers Galveston has had in several years. On the whole they have been most dismal, especially for the only two days until summer when we won't have a single thing to do. The complete let down from all that worry to absolutely nothing to worry about yesterday left me with a sort of dazed feeling all afternoon, and a bad case of the blues -- the most I've had in a long time. My, how I wanted you, just you, to feel you near and to have you with me. We managed to wade to tow and see a show last night and buy up a bunch of magazines which we then read till nearly two o'clock! Today has been equally dismal. Went to two shows this afternoon, and tonight I'm with you. But, sweetheart, all this afternoon I've been so excited over an idea that struck me, I hardly know what to do. Don't be too disappointed dear -- if you'll promise not to I'll tell you. You see, it's like this -- the class we have on Saturday this next term only meets just that one day a week, so that we only get one cut in it during the term. You see what I am drawing at, don't you? It simply means that I can't cut it on the day following a holiday, and Mar 2nd as you know comes on a Friday. But, don't be over disappointed -- 'cause here's where the surprise comes in. I'm coming up there the 22nd of this month! Thursday, and be there Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sweetheart, will you give me three days, those night? Please. Will that be all night? My, I am excited over it as if I were starting out tonight! And I missed your letter today so much. But that's all right -- and I hope you had a good time at the German. I thought of you a long time last night, and could just picture you dancing all around with some other man. but, so long as I thought of just the dancing, it was all right; and I wouldn't let myself think anything else -- 'cause - cause you promised, didn't you? Kiss me, kiss me -- I'll pay 'em all back on the 22nd. What do you think Libo, I'm swearing off smoking! Yes, really. Johnson and I both, and I'm smoking my last package now -- until maybe the 22nd -- maybe not till summer. Do you think I can do it? Well, I've got to, for one reason, and a good one, too -- for about $6.50 or $7 a month!! Well, tomorrow starts it all off again -- but only for about two and a half weeks for me! One of the profs told us last night that 18 out of the 78 freshmen busted out! and 6 sophomores. Until the 22nd -- love me -- and all time after that -- 'cause I love you. Felix."
