The Fort Snelling Training Camp Sept. 26, 1917 Daphne, honey- After the way you ran away from me I might never have forgiven you if your letter had not come along so quickly - and such a gentle, weepy letter, at that. How about it? Did I get you wrong when I understood that you were going to stay until Thursday night at least? That is the way I "estimated the situation" as we say in the ahmy, after my last telephone conversation. So I was horribly, horribly surprised when that Miss Nobody-home at Curtis Court told me you had left. Of course she never delivered whatever tender message you had left for me. She was quite blunt and unsympathizing in telling me the sad news. It was pretty tough to realize all to oncet that you and our playtimes were gone, gone, gone.
