Marshall & Bonnie—Am applying to UCLA, Claremont, + USC for fall of '77. I want to get into a program where I can also go for a MA in art history after a year or so. I now am poor as I have 3 cars, but hopefully will sell one plus all my cameras (almost) soon. I am teaching 3 nites a wk. in the C.C. [Colorado College] darkroom. Life runs fast, have fun, Mark

dear kids: i forgot to tell you on the last postcard that connie (the girl who mixed up our pics in leviathan) wants to buy yr. photographs any prices? they did a second operation on tony [Godec] and he seems to be ok. but i shit in my pants when i heard that it can take up to a year for one to recover from this kind of thing. pray for miracles. otherwise nothing is new. my diet is bad, i fart a lot. no burping, though. later, mark

Hey kids—Sorry to hear about the nose dive the Mazda took......I still haven't gotten the flashes, have been on the rep's butt, MUCH about it. Never did get around to sending you notice of yr. share of phone calls that came in on the Feb. bill. Twas only 4, 5, 6 bucks worth. This is what I want you to do about it: go out + buy a GOOD bottle of champagne and celebrate my coming out in Sept! Got "unnofficial" OK on the TA @ USC! YAHOO! M
Mark Johnstone to Marshall Mayer
Marshall—You old fish face, when are you + Bonnie [Lambert] gonna come up? Next summer??? Send me that stuff!!!!!!!!!!! Sometime in the next two weeks I am going to go crazy + buy color printing materials. Maybe. I wish a had a new car. The Saab sucks again.
Mark Johnstone to Bonnie Lambert
Bonnie—As none of my works were selected, would you be so good as to pick them up? At Prism before April 8th. So much for color Xerox. Did get my grant fr. USC, though. Will buy supplies for a while. Big [Harry] Callahan exhibit up here @ Northridge 'til Apr 23. M
Mark Johnstone to Marshall Mayer and Bonnie Lambert
Marshall—Much has fucked up w/ grad. class, and yr. pc. is off FOR THAT, but am trying to arrange for a performance type presentation late afternoon. Would be open to grad, undergrad + faculty. [Don't know how many would actually attend] OK? If not, let me know rite away. Also, our video camera is 1/2"— so exchange won't go. Would like to do a pc. w/ the equip you have avail. Easiest for me to come down? When? Have found relatively cheap color xerox. Will give details later. Mother Bonnie—How are your kids? When y'all comin' up? When to T. Giving festivities officially start?

Come back so I can have a day off. George White sends his love. We're sending you the "Statues w/out Hearts" album. Be looking for it. P-nut power. Tony [Godec] is back and doing fine.
