Entry in a serial letter to Henry from his mother September 26, 1907

8 – P.M – Thursday

Dear boy I waited purposely thinking we might have a letter in the noon mail and sure enough it came – Of course now we are anxious to hear further.  I know you are glad and I will try to be, but it only brings the time closer for your long stay during which we cannot often hear, and so long without seeing you – However we are going to be brave and write letters just the same that you will have ever so many to read, enough to keep you busy until the next mail.  I can scarcely wait now to hear more particulars.

We have had a decided change in the weather, after much rain and close atmosphere, it is clear and colder.  I wondered if you were cold yesterday it was quite so here but the wind kept up and there was no frost just about here.  I guess you have been too busy to know whether it was cold or not, do you know I felt there was a change going on, it is somewhat sooner than you thought. 

Well now you will see something quite different in every way.  Tell us if your little friend is with you, I was so glad to hear of him for your sake, & I hope we may get to see him.
