Dave Freund to Ellen Manchester
Dear Ellen—Very good to get your card(s) & hear the show looks good—really wish I could see it. (By implication, Gary's [Metz?] prints showed up, right?) The clothes, my god, thanks for not sending them for $22! Can't you just put them in a box & mail 'em last class, insured? Shouldn't be more than a few $—& when it comes I'll mail you a check for the postage. I'll surely be out sometime this summer, somehow. How long you gonna be there? Could you send me a summer catalog? School's out next week, & free play for the summer‚ hardly know where to strike first. But I'll manage. See yo. Love, Dave [front of card] Hi, Bonnie [Lambert] !!!

Gary Metz to Dave Freund
It is exciting and never looks the same, THIS AWESOME BEAUTY, (this is how it looks as it BOILS) just moments away from the glamour and the glitter, the entertainment and excitement, the fun and gaiety. (IT RUNS around the clock.) GM [address redacted]

Dear Dave—this is a little "excitement" to get you to come to our fair flour city for SPE—really hope you can make it. Our living situation is VERY cozy as Chris [?] has moved in. I sleep in the kitchen! BUT Please stay with us—Chris will be at her parents, [Robert] Heinecken might stay here, Gary M [Metz] can't make it. Should be lots of laughs—bring LOTS of work! Thanks again for the bed & board. Love Ellen & BGL

Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Mark, Sorry I couldn't stop in on my way down from Montana but I arrived in the Springs at 2:30 am on the 21st. I am very much interested in submitting in your publication. Please send full details. I am studying w/ B. [Beaumont] Newhall and David Vestal here so it looks good. Should give my portfolio a boost. I'll be up soon—Marshall
Gary Metz to Dave Freund
Dave, Oh God! WHEN am I going to right you a letter? Am SWAMPED this year, can hardly breathe. Is Susan's name Bai or Bar? I'll answer her & others too. More later, warm thots. Gary
Ellen Manchester, Bonnie Lambert and Gary Metz to Dave Freund
[text from Bonnie] Wish you were here to enjoy the sun. B. [text from Ellen] Dear Dave—We forgot our coats & ties, so they wouldn't let us in here! Oh well, we are still welcome at Carl's counter. Lots of new buildings, people, etc.—but of course lots of groovy food, bars and shops. Saw Ralph [Wolff] last night. He seems really well. Ivan's [?] still sitting on his front step. HAPPY EXHIBITION—we'll be thinking of you. Ellen, Gary + Bonnie
Marshall Mayer to Gary Metz
Gary, The old prospector and his burro had left the mine for town in the middle of the day with an empty canteen. Both being thirsty, the burro finally said, "I think we'd better go back." The old prospector snorted, "You're crazy!" The burro turned to go but the old prospector stopped the burro short tugging on the reign. There they stood stubborn; neither right nor wrong. Marshall
Roger Mertin to Barbara Houghton
Barbara, the weather here is the pits. UPS picked up damaged print, will you get some bucks. I'm on the verge of winning the COLO/Roc darkroom construction contest [between Gary Metz and Roger Mertin], at least I think so—Love Roger
Marshall Mayer to Gary Metz
Dear Gary, Finally back in S.D. ready to get back to school. Wanted to thank you for accommodating us. Every once in a while one has to check in with one's sources and this vacation was good for that. I hope both Bonnie [Lambert] & I can see you again before you go to N.Y. Until then, Marshall
Marshall Mayer to Bonnie Lambert
Friday Dear Bonnie, Guess where we are!—Spent last night in RMNP after another good day of driving but no good food. Just found Gary [Metz] and will spend the night there. Have to do some minor work on the car. High altitude blues. Should be in DM tomorrow night. Not getting too much research done cause we're pretty tired. Planning on a cheeseburger at Tom's and breakfast at Dotties Diner. I'll call soon. Marshall x0x0x0 P.S. Gary is as interesting as ever.
Mark Johnstone to Marshall Mayer
Marsh: Give Ben [Benschneider] some time to breath w/ it. If no answer by time I return (Feb 2) I'll call him. Mailed 1st yr. summary on to Gary [Metz]. I think I'm @ SC another yr—but it's hard to tell. What the hell, I might be out this semester. The place is in turmoil. You + señorita bonita coming up? Made reservations @ 4 Oaks for Sat Feb 3 @ 9 o'clock. Let's meet in Inglewood, afternoon? M

Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
