Dearest H.P.,

I was just cataloguing my memoirs (you know, that silly little project of mine?) and was recalling that lovely summer we spent back at St. Olaf’s back in ’12. Oh dearest, do you think me silly to invite you along on a little weekend jaunt I have planned a mere week from now? You recall our earlier date for a picnic on the MOON? Well, I think the time has come that we explore the idea of a mature love in just that very locale! Let me entice you yet again with the spread:

• 1 Italian Loaf (crusty-type)
• 3 pots of Jam (Strawberry, Plum and Blue)
• Jicama and other crudités (FRESH!)
• And assortment of savory pies (some with Ham)
• Buffalo Wings (with Caviar-chevre-cilantro dipping sauce)
• Limonade (corked!)
• Port and Sherry (3 kinds each!)

DO say yes! I have already begun to gather the pheasants for the wings, and you KNOW how troublesome plucking all those feathers is!

DO say yes – the craters are lovely this time of year…

Pip and Tut,

Gatsby
