Dearest,
Perhaps the enclosed might interest and amuse you—I was so glad to hear your voice this evening. Honestly I was thinking of you the very moment that I was called to the telephone, and was planning to call Miss Hookeran to ask her where I could reach you. I was so homesick for you that I felt I must talk to you—and to know everything was all right with my darling.
I have wished very much that I could be with you to help to relieve and cure that your cold. I hate to think of your being ill even in the slightest degree and for me not to be there to help you. I hope your cold is well by the time this reaches you. Please take care of yourself, dear.
This is Miss Helen’s birthday. The President, Miss Helen, Miss Margaret, Mrs. Bolling—Miss Bolling and yours—the wielder of this pen, dined at Miss Edith’s this evening. It was a delightful occasion. I never saw Miss Helen look more beautiful. I found myself constantly wishing for you, sweetheart.
I can never enjoy myself these days but that I find that I am wishing and longing that you were with me.
Your love and your happiness means everything to me; and I want you all the time. But I am going to be sensible. Sweetheart, I am so thankful for your love. It is all so fine and wonderful that I sometimes feel that it cannot really be true. But it is, and am so happy—and I want to make you just as much so as I am—
11.15 P.M. My next will be sent to the St. Regis—and I am going to write in the morning—
Cary—
