Barbara Houghton to Jim Houghton
Jim—Thanks for the photo of the dream lover piece. I'm not sure I like the color as well as the b&w Maybe I ought to send the others out to be processed. This is me w/ my new hairdo. Doug took it at Deana's on Sunday. I was suppose [sic] to take pictures then but Cindy didn't give me the night nighty for Deena. Gotta do 'em this week plus print + matt. Help! Love to you Barbara P.S. Only 10 days...Want anything from Denver?

Hello—the stately beauty of its rugged peaks is visible for miles around. Bla, Bla, Bla. 23 hours on the road. 1 speeding ticket for Cal, Junk food. It's hot here. Polution [sic] reigns. Barbara
Barbara Houghton to Ellen Manchester
Ellen—Hope all's well by you now. Stopped in Breckenridge on the way past to return Kenda's [North] squeegee & found out you will have a workshop next week. That is good. I think things will be up from here on in. Talked to Alex [Sweetman?] and Kenda a lot about your gallery & w/all our support & help I believe we can make it happen. The trip out was OK—hot tho. We will leave for Mexico City next week sometime fare is pretty cheap. I'm excited about this. Then I will go to Harold's [Jones?] on the return trip. Went to the beach yesterday but couldn't relax—too much to do—PRINT JUDITH'S [Golden] CLOTHES and there was Sun Mon. None yet today, but I've errands to do now.
Barbara Houghton to Mark Johnstone
Dear Mark, I've scheduled your show in our cases Oct 5-23. We can use 12 prints and I will need a resume or statement to go along. I'd like them to arrive a couple days earlier than the 5th. Hope these dates are OK. Send to Barbara Houghton, Metro State College Art Dept, [address redacted].
Barbara Houghton to Ellen Manchester
Wed Ellen—On the way into Yellowstone my car started fucking up. The alternator messed up—so I stayed the night, blew off site seeing & headed on home. I stopped to ask a mechanic at a gas station what the problem was, and he said I could make it easy. Well I'm in Ft. Collins in a gas station & these really nice guys (tow trucker & the mechanic) were are trying to get me going. No dice. I'm now in a DELUXE suite at Holiday Inn F. C. got it cheap. Only room around & it's in a wing that's not finished. I've had my swim & a beer & in the morning I'll deal w/ my dead car. Good thing I've a sense of humor. Saw NO grizzlys [sic] but did see a moose. xo Barbara P.S. Thanks for such a good time.
Barbara Houghton to Paula Crane and Ted Thomas
Paula & Ted—Couldn't find you before I left for B'Ridge. God talk about a busy crazy week. Had too much to pull together & too many people to deal w/. The one I wanted to deal w/ left early too. Mary's up here w/me and so far she's no trouble & will earn her keep typing for Andrea [Jennison] and Kenda [North] tomorrow. I'm running some film now. My class starts in a 1/2 hour. Horrors. They develop color film today—and hopefully make contact prints & learn how to make a print. I'm in class now & it's under control. Leaving for Chicago Tues—home Monday noon. Love B.
