- Two letters from Hermon to Blanche Nutting. In the first one he asks if she likes the ink and that he made it in chemistry. He talks about being inocculated and vaccinated and that his arms feel heavy and that he feels funny. He also tries to plan meeting her in Boston for a football game. He also mentions for Thanksgiving how he and his friend Lew are going to take the 3am train to Nashua Thanksgiving morning and will take the 9pm train back to Hanover. He concludes his first letter that he has to stop writing because of his arm. In the second letter he is devasted to tell her that he cannot meet her at the game in Boston because none of them are allowed to attend but they are permitted their 24hour leave for Thanksgiving. They are also allowed to open their fratenity houses again for part of Sunday afternoon. He apologizes for not being able to see her again. Both letters are technically undated (someone added 1918 November 19 to the first letter) and the envelope is postmarked 1918 November 19.
