Dearest Ruben 

Just received your envelope with memo from Arbor House enclosed. What was the matter? Is it possible I did not enclose the letter or did i miss direct it or what? Why dont you write. You know I always watch for your letters & love you & want you. Love you and want you all the time & more & more. & it won't be long--but do write, for I wait to hear from you always. The case will

close two weeks from today & then I shant xxxx write at once & shall soon see you as soon as I can get to St. L. & as soon as you will see me. How are you. What are you doing & do you love me — yet? Ever & ever
