Yale Station: Letters of Love
April 10, 1947 pm Little One, I wrote you last night, but was delayed in mailing the letter; and that's the reason I sent it special delivery. So you won't mise a day, Here is the long lost selection I've been trying to find for gome time, I think you'll like it. By one of your favorite poets -- Mr. Browning. It's strange to look up from work at six o'clock and see it still broad daylight -- meaning that I haven't noticed the gradual change from winter to spring. At this minute I'll bet you're whizzing along underneath New York -- happy in your hobby of sub-way riding. Like a little girl who's going to town -- or to another town to visit. By he way, you should be telling me when you're coming Sunday. Unless I hear from you about it, I'11 understand "same time same station". Darling, believe me, I'm not being lazy in having you come down instead of me. It's that I must study Saturday afternoon and evening, then a little Sunday morning, and a little more Sunday night to stay ahead. Sounds almost like an excuse, doesn't 1t? Do I really need to give one? : We have a lot of things to talk over -- for June (we have a lot of things to talk over, period.) It would be nice if you could know the complete change you have brought. The days are all fine and strong ones, now. The harsh break between the night and morning -- the going ahead, but secretly wondering Just what it all amounts to: all of that 1s gone. I don't want to explain it any further, because words only mess it up. ***** Ed. Cordes was here a few minutes ago. He's leaving Yale because his mother is in ill health and they want him close to home. He's going to the Poly. Inst. of Brooklyn. He and Red (Henderson) came together, and asked at the door, if they could please see Mr. Bostick, the Celebrity (of Daily News fame). I finally consented to let them touch me -- for a nominal fee. They expressed thelr gratitude at being allowed in the presence of such a brilliant, patient, wise, tolerant, understanding fellow. (I know a little girl who certainly "spreads it on thick" -- what a line! What a line! What an angle! -- Handing me your line through the headlines.)
