Thursday. [July 4, 1907]Dear Jennie Louise,
Here it is a whole week since I have seen you and I am just writing, but you know how slow I always am so you can understand that this is the letter I decided to write Sunday. I was quite surprised to hear that you were going home Saturday but should think you would be glad enough of the chance to see your father for a few moments. It is very inconsiderate of the President to send him away every time you are home.
I telephoned your brother to make sure that you weren't called home because some one was ill and for a moment I almost thought I was talking to you your voices are so much alike.
Since you were here I have slept a great deal, been in swimming every day, sewed some and the rest of the time played with Stanley's hares which are the cutest things ever. They can eat any amount of clover and it is lots of fun to find them Stanley makes a great deal of fun of the way I talk to them & I imagine it is something like the way Lucy talks to kittens.
Curtis is to be here all summer and took me to a very small dance that the boys got up on the spur of the moment Tuesday night. The people from Bridgeport weren't much good so we danced together most of the time and didn't stay long. I wish you might have been here - he asked aobut you. The much talked of Horace had come at last so I imagine I shall enjoy the doings more hereafter.
Stanley and Priscilla have been up since the wee small hours and succeeded in waking up about every one on the place. I feel as though I had slept on a picket fence.
We are going up to Grandma's now so I must stop and get dressed. There are to be twenty four at last there to-day.
Our crimson ramblers are still only very tight buds. Mother wants me to tell you she received your letter last night and is glad you reached home safely.
Please remember me to everyone I know and write when you have time.
Much love from Ruby
