B—Wednesday No doubt that making judgements [sic] with only half the story is both quick & easy but I would have to question the validity... The kind Mr. Goodfellow was a case of total disorganization—he wanted some 25 hours (plus) of work! I did 80 prints & sold 3!! He told me to be there Monday "between 10:30 & 11:00 p.m." I got there @ 10:15 & the place was EMPTY!!! I'm sorry but I'm not disappointed. Yet. I'll arrange to return everything immediately.

Oct 17 Dearest Barbara... the show is UP!!) and caused a mild sensation. Somebody who says she doesn't have a "red hot" budget wants to buy one... How much are they? Also Tom Steiger told me to tell you that he is REALLY impressed. I tried to call you last night.. but couldn't get your phone number—let me know about the space so I'll know how to present the pinholes—Is it enclosed? More soon—Love Ruth.
Ruth Thorne-Thomsen to Barbara Houghton
Dearest Barbara Still would like to show your work in the space at the Art Institute—the sooner the better like sometime in Oct. They don't need to be mounted, and you can count on me to treat them kindly and get them back to you right after the show...

Barb—thanks again for your help. Got photos back—will be/able to use some. You should get little flash unit like mine—worked well w/ wide angle lens. Finished shooting—for now. Did Willie Dixon yesterday. Went SMOOTHLY. He's nice man. Shot at her home & rehearsal. Some problems but went well. Took footage to lab today—will see results tomorrow. Haven't seen Jay [DiLorenzo]—is he here!? Koko [Taylor] was cancelled for concert out there I think. She's in Calif now then on to Europe in Oct. How is my camera? Will it cost much to repair? Let me know when we make the exchange. I plan to call Lynne [Brown] when I've progressed on editing. XXO PHS

Northlight Galley. So I feel a bit more confident about grad. school. I also know most schools have e a Feb. deadline for Fall semester. So I wonder if schools will accept me for Winter 1979 session. Also I still need to talk to you about schools—Tucson is a probable place, now I may even consider California. I really want to go to a good place. I took all my shit out of school locker so I hope I can do some stuff there when I get back. I have $100 worth of P-R 16x20 waiting at Ossen's. I'm real excited. I've been reading Phil Davis' [?] book every day to keep up a bit. I'm also entering topless dancing contests at discos to get $ for my trip. I hope you're getting a lot done & LOVING IT. I can't wait to see what you're doping. Also thanks for all the help you've given me. You are a good influence So I'll write you from Mex & see you sometime in February. [scratchout] any romancing?? See you soon. Love, MARCIA

Ciao bella—come va? We are enjoying Loescher and group and miss you. Don't know when we'll see you, but maybe you should reconsider coming to bella Roma.

15.XII.79 Dear Barbara & Jim...Merry Christmas and a good 1980. Bought this postcard just for you for your collection of eccentric cards. Have I written to you at all? Get confused. If not, we are having a fabulous time even though unable to speak more often than not. So when are you coming? I have to get a job, probably until April or so, so don't come before then. We have already travelled [sic] up north and await visitors to go south to Sicily or east to Greece. XXXX Barbara and Rusty
