Entry in serial letter to Henry from his mother October 15, 1907

Oct. 15 [1907] – My dear boy – Well how time goes on, it surely waits for no man – I wrote you on Oct. 6^th from Aunt Doll’s but forgot to ask if you received it, I suppose you did before you left.  Oh, I felt so badly that you were late for I knew you would be anxious, but how glad we were when we saw the words “I was excused.”

We have the paper giving the route of the boat, if only we hear from you.  Be sure to get something from each place you stop.  I know you will get on shore for you are going to keep First Class.  Views of the different places would be fine & not take much room.  Then when you get to San Francisco you could send some things home by mail so you would have as much room as possible.  Oh dear heart there are so many things I wanted to talk over with you, but I am thinking of and praying for you every hour and minute.  I know you are seeing the same beautiful moon these evenings and we are all with you in spirit as we try to think where you are every morning and evening.  And Anna wants to know “Where is Henry now?”
