Halleck, Indianapolis, to Ruth, Brazil, Indiana, 1916
- Containers:
- Box 2, Folder 10
- Scope and content:
-
"Lover Mine"; "would that I were with [you] to brush away the tears"; "Dearest the first and last embrace gives me promise of the future joys with my guiding angel". In the same envelope is apparently a draft of a letter Ruth wrote to Halleck in reply: "quick, dear H, before it hurts too much, let me go. It cannot be"; she writes that she hopes to see him before she leaves Monday for the North, when he must tell her she is right.
