Marsh + Bonnie: Sounds good, will be expecting you for a *gala* time on the town. If you (Marshall) could do me a favor, would greatly appreciate. Bring any and all literature pertaining to conceptual photog, especially pictures [photography + language, Dumb Ox, some of yr. work]. I have to shoot slides next week for a presentation on Friday Thanks M (+Boy, do I have surprises for you!—No couch yet, sooo it's the carpeted floor + pads) Opposite: [Michael] Ballou as the Fonz

Keep your shorts dry + your barbecue hot. M
