Dear Gertrude
We are now on our way to Cornish. The train is now nearing Philadelphia. Our good friend Hoover is aboard, going to Atlantic City to spend Saturday and Sunday, I am going to ask him to mail this note in Philadelphia.
This has been one of the busiest days for me but my thoughts have been with you, dear, almost constantly.
I wish that I could give you a detail account of all that I have done this day; but owing to lack of time—before reaching Philadelphia—and the motion of the train which materially interfers with my weld wielding of the pen, I must be brief and speedy—
You cannot imagine how terribly anxious I am to see you, but I am happy at the thought that I am even to be on to-morrow in the same part of the world where you are. I simply must see you, sweetheart—and that real soon. To-morrow night immediately after dinner I am going to try to speak to you over the telephone, I am longing to hear the sound of your voice—I would like to spend Sunday with you—but I know you have another engagement. My darling I want you to know how much I want you and need you. I love you with all my heart and mind and soul and being. Keep this love close.
May you be as happy as you are dear to
Your,
Cary—
