“Life has changed a little. I used to come home home to spend the time between weeks of studying but now I just study as something to do between weekends.”
Scans of Jim’s twenty-seventh letter to Thelma.
“Can you think of anything to say besides “I love you”. I can’t but it seems rather silly to just write that over again & again. I can say it once and put all I have into it. The rest of them would just be echoes to keep you from forgetting it.”
Scans of Jim’s twenty-sixth letter to Thelma.
“Gee, I miss having you around to make life interesting. By rights, I shouldn’t go home. It just makes matters worse, but try and keep me away. It’s like trying to stay away from your own funeral. It just isn’t possible.”
Scans of Jim’s twenty-fifth letter to Thelma.
“I’m sorry I didn’t write last night, but I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. I thought of you all the way down to this old room and I even dreamt of you. Nothing very exciting though, you were just with me in my dream. That’s enough anyway.
Scans of Jim’s twenty-fourth letter to Thelma.
“Goodnite, baby. I wish you were here cause I could use a little female companionship right about now. (As long as its you of course.) I guess I finished this after all, thats because I want to talk to the one I love as long as possible even if she can’t talk to me.”
