I dident want no public wedding but I wanted us to go down to crown Pt. or some wberes and get married on the Q. T. but Gussy says No because if wo run off and get married we wouldent get no presents but if we send out invitations all the people that gets the invatations will half to come acrost with presents and may be we will get some dishes or furnitur for the flat where wear going to live at and the more we get we wont half to bu' so much. ! You will probly get your invatation some time this wk. and of course I won't expect no present from you Sieve on acct of me owcing you that money or if you was thinking of sending mo some thing any way wli3' you could just not send nothing but instead of sending some thing you could call off the inonev I owe you only of corse I expect to pay that back as soon as I get it if you dont want to call it off. IF you was thinging of sending me something and not calling off the money I owe you why send it to my a dress and I will get it O. K. and take it over to Gussys house to stick with the rest of the presents if its something pretty but if its just something for a man and not for no girl I will keep it and rot say nothing a bout it but when your givoiug a wedding present you usuly give some" thing pretty good fnr the girl and man both of them like a lounge or a chair or 1 dos. Stirling silver spoons or some thing. Only don't ' bother your head' a bout giveing us no present & I am just telling you what is customcry. Some of the girls that palls a round with Gussy is going to give her some party s before the wedding 4 comes off only there not reglar partys but what they call showers and of corse they aint no showers like when it ranes but these showers show-ers is where they give her some thing for the flat like orental rugs and may be a piano or some tjhing & I hope its a piano they give her because pianos cost over a $100.00 dollars a peace and Gussy saj's we got to have 1 because she would get lone some if she couldent play wile I was a way on the rode & she plays pretty good Steve not no rag time nether but classicle stuff The Hole City and you made me what I am Today and stuff like that. MAY be the old man will come acrost with a piano but Gussy Gus-sy says may be she can get him to come crost with a run a bout automobile auto-mobile & if he does I guess we wont have no time this summer eh Stevo. O you automobile Kid.
