RPPC with a note from Lizzie B.

Here's an RPPC that was mailed to Mrs. John Schultz in Hawkeye, Iowa, a tiny city in the northeastern portion of that state.¹ It's difficult to read the faded postmark, but my best guess is that it was mailed in September 1918, around the time the even-deadlier second wave of the influenza pandemic was circling the globe. 

Here's what the message, in pencil and in cursive, states: 

Sept 24 

Dear Sister 

dont be superised [sic] we will all stop for dinner sunday if it dont rain the folken [?] and the other two you know who

Lizzie B.

falker?

folker?

falken?

folken?

I reckon "folken" makes the most sense, as it's an actual word, which can be used as either a singular or plural term depending on the region of Scandinavian from which it hails
