Andrea Jennison and Tom Breeden to Paul Briggs
"He was threatening to expose Simon... and it doesn't fit if I don't tell the truth, it doesn't fit." Perry Mason repeat. 3rd time for me. "He was in no condition to drive; I'd already killed him." See you Sun or Mon? A.T.&T.
Paul Briggs to Bonnie Lambert
Dear Bonnie—Hope your trip was at least a little eventful to spice things up. Got motivated to work more on quilt so maybe it'll be done when U retn. Will probably resort 2 use Ellen's [Manchester] machine as I've some ideas w/ curvy lines. Hope 2 get Ellen out 4 a hike soon as I get out of work this wk. Let me know what's going on. As ever—Paul
Andrea Jennison to Bonnie Lambert
Dear Bonnie—6/11 Paul [Briggs] & I want to come to visit (etc) & hike after the 20th or [illegible] the 23rd. If it's more convenient for us & you perhaps we could take you back to Colo. via Sun Valley, whatever. Do let me know, what is most convenient. Love A.
Paul Briggs to Bonnie Lambert and Ellen Manchester
Dear friends—got out of here to NYC on a whim—happened very quick but here I am for a few weeks—w/ a job even! Not too exciting one—repairing & painting crates & wardrobe trunks at N. Y. St. Theater, but pay is good at $6.85/hr. I wondered if you two could recommend anything that I mustn't miss here in Big Apple. So far I only plan 2 C Coney Island (want to do foto expose of house of horrors w/ flash showing mechanism of the giant tarantulas, etc.) and Jap [Japanese] movies & LIGHT [Gallery]. Any good p.c. places? As ever—Paul—c/o Price [street address redacted]
Paul Briggs to Bonnie Lambert and Ellen Manchester
Dear friends—Sometimes hard to make up my mind whether 2 go out or stay in & watch TV—good movies! Like "Latin Lovers" etc. Outside all you do is stand in lines which isn't all bad when looking at people's shoes. Been "snapping" a few of those wedgies, platforms, white corofam [corfam] loafers, Chinese zorries, engineer boots, etc. & a whole roll at St. of Lib. [Statue of Liberty] yesterday. We can have a slide show when I get back. Paul
Bonnie Lambert and Marshall Mayer to Paul Briggs and Joe Riollano

Andrea Jennison and Tom Breeden to Joe Riollano and Paul Briggs
As you can see the weather was hardly as arctic as we expected...! We're having lots of gorp food & booze. The schedule was filled w/lots of presentations, many boring. Met some nice people from Minneapolis who put us up in their studio. Love—A&T

Bonnie Lambert to Paul Briggs and Joe Riollano
Dear Paul & Joe—We are in Cooke City, Mont. in a very primitive, but beautiful cabin—there is a linoleum braided rug on the floor. Rain all day today in Yellowstone, but we walked to Morning Glory Pool, nonetheless. Having a WONDERFUL time. xoxo Bonnie
Andrea Jennison to Bonnie Lambert
Dear Bonnie—We sure had a great time Saturday! Paul [Briggs] did too, I'm sure. It was really good to see him too. I just came upstairs from a frustrating session in the darkroom. Ugh. Thought you might like this feminine exhibit. Love, Andrea
Paul Briggs to Bonnie Lambert and Marshall Mayer
Dear friends—Thanks for nice wkend. Have Mark [Johnstone?] get you over to Rose Alverson [Arveson] Simmons Shrine before you go off to L.A. as it would be a good pre-Calif. event what w/ all the plastic there.

I'm busy still setting up new house & darkroom—[street address redacted]. FUN FAX: "ARAPAHOE" in Arapahoe means "tattooed on the chest." C. U. soon—Paul

—this is an elk! Dear friends—have finally been getting a little snow. T&A [Tom Breeden and Andrea Jennison] went skiing w/ me last week on Berthoud Pass. I'm working on some drawings to reproduce at Moss Printing Early Bird Special—50 8 1/2 x 11's for $1.00 for line copies. We went to PINK FLAMINGOS & FEMALE TROUBLE last nite & it was quite a bill to see. One is certainly assaulted all night long. Hope U R well & happy—yours—Paul
Paul Briggs to Bonnie Lambert and Marshall Mayer

Tom Breeden to Bonnie Lambert and Marshall Mayer
Greeting...Slight remembrance of Colorado—sage brush etc. All finally turned green, lilacs out—ticks jumping up & attacking Togo—Warm nights & hot darkroom—Nothing of import to report—no jobs bla...bla...bla. Guess Ellen [Manchester] was in an accident of some kind, totaled her bus, broke her arm, but escaped alive...all this by rumor since we never see her—Barbra [Houghton?] [sic] is on another spring hate binge. Jim [?] usually gets her down about this time of year. Haven't finished all slides on Wyo. series—probably will next week—Got some good Cibas—going up to 11x14. Haven't been junk shopping since you left. Paul [Briggs] and Joe want to move back to the city & we want a back yard—Do write—Love—Tom—

Nov. 30, 1977 Dear Mark, Paul [Briggs] & I went to Tijuana on Sat. We had a real swell time. We'll have to go when you're here for Xmas. Crappy food, though. And no ladies & donkeys (although we kept our eyes open for that sort of thing.) xo Bonnie
