Wednesday PM
Dearest Ruben
It has been two or three hours since I wrote you so I thought perhaps an other letter might be all right. I am feeling so bully ever since I got your letter that you were coming that perhaps you had better stay away & just keep me looking for you. See will dream it is only day after tomorrow for I know you wouldn't be mean enough not to come Friday night. I have just been
thinking that perhaps my sister Mrs. Olaf Olsen might be going out to that D-n Sweede picknick on Sunday & you might see her & she might see you & you might size each other up etc. etc. although she dont know, of course, or I might get stolen - or something - any how I would like to have her see you any how I want you & want you to come Friday unless you could come
Thursday or tonight. Any how I will be there at the train & shall expect that you will get your dinner on the train so that the moon will be up but if you cant get it on train write or wire & I will wait & we will go to St. H. or some other saints & get our dinner & have a nice little loaf before & every thing & any how that might be the best way, so any how let me know right off what way etc. etc. Yours ever
