Text: "Wednesday afternoon. My Own Sweetheart -- And just to think I should by all rights be packing my suitcase this afternoon instead of being all locked up here in this lonely, lonely room. Charlie Williams just brought me your letter of Monday night. All I can say is that I am thoroughly realizing what it means to be completely disappointed; I didn't realize I did want to see you so badly, or that I had had my heart so firmly set on being with you soon. It seems like the whole bottom's dropped out, for the time being. I keep saying to myself that I will, that maybe you will, appreciate it all the more when we can be together -- next week if you say so. But that thought doesn't console me much, or make me enjoy this seclusion any more. Surely do hope you get hold of some of those pictures real soon -- I am so anxious to see them. Yes, it has been pretty here, too -- which has only made me want to get out all the more. If I were sick -- well, I'm glad I'm not and am feeling fine physically, but this being kept in so close so long gets od -- especially when - well you know where my heart is, where I ought to be. I love you, sweetheart. There was a leper, a negro man, and a bad case, too, only a few rooms from me, and he slipped out, last night and got away. He surely was a terrible sight. I think they were planning to send to a leper colony in a few days. What do you know about this for a new ruling? Charlie was telling me about it a while ago, and while he said the whole bunch considered it an absurdity -- so do I. the pledge on examination papers has to include a statement that you have not cut any other days to prepare for this examination! Isn't that the climax? I guess old Doctor Shaefer will be making us sign one that we didn't study later than ten o'clock the night before preparing for hers! Mother seemed to be more worried about my having busted chemistry than about my being sick. Well, I guess tha'ts right, my condition physically is on one which needs any worry, whereas my mental states may! I am going to hate to have to ask them for that trip to Denver, cause it will be pretty expensive, I know, but if I feel like that is the best way to cinch passing that [...] course -- I'm Denver bound. But all that's too far ahead, and I haven't thought much about it. But I have thought a whole lot about -- you can guess -- y-o-u -- in fact that's all I have really thought about lately. Are you my sweetheart? Know that you are? I mean feel sure that you love me? You're the dearest sweetheart in forty 'leven states, and there isn't a thing I wouldn't do to please you. Am so anxious to hear what you have to say about next week. I ought to be out of here in two or maybe three days. Guess i"d better take a bath and read a little anatomy. its getting cooler and cloudy again outside. I love you, more and more with every hour. Here's that kiss back, and more, hot and ____ modern. Your own Felix."
