Hey cowboy! The ways of the west seems strange here, but the sun is awfully nice :) up tomorrow morn by 6:00 again off for a big breakfast & then—to the courts! John promises to bring a picher [sic] of gator-aide-looking pick-me-ups perhaps with alcohol content—[?] could dig getting semi-loaded soaking up some sun—Wish you were here—Not too much going on but tennis, tennis, & more tennis & most people I've met have been friendly—girls that is—can't wait to see you xoxoxxx—Greetings to [?], Don & Dave!

Dear Mark I would love to see you; bring a portfolio of your GREATEST WORKS. Telephone number in Danville ([redacted]. Anytime. You can always teach some of my classes, although you might find them different from those in a private girls school. If you need a good book to buy (for yourself) get J. [John] Szarkowski's LOOKING AT PHOTOGRAPHS (Museum of Modern Art). Tom Besides which, we can go to the local (San Francisco—Berkeley) exhibitions of photography. This is a good month for same.

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
Les Krims to Mark Johnstone
Dear Mark—The Deerslayers and Little People folios are $3.50 each, and the Stack O'Wheats folio is $2.50. I'm sure if you send those amount plus .50c postage to Light Impressions they'll fill your order. I know they have lots of all things you mentioned left, because I was there yesterday. One day I'll try and sit down and let you know some of my feelings about the medium. Verbalizing about it is really difficult for me. Hope Light Impressions comes through for you.

Photos by Marshall Mayer Mark, Sorry I missed you while I was up. I really wanted to see what you are doing and I had all my stuff along. I will have prints to you by the middle of March of a photo I have designed but not made. I hear the response is not prolific but I'll contribute and there are several more people who might be interested down here. I need Peter Carney's address in Arizona so send it ASAP. Marsh Tell me when your senior show opens. I'll come up.

Dear Mark Traveling's been great. Went camping for a beautiful 3 day stretch in Utah. Drove through the most awesome canyons & hiked 3 mi into one at the end of which—a big waterfall. Shooting lots of film although trying to capture the grandeur of those rocks is a challenge Vegas—a real treat. The nite life here is ooh-la-la I've learned the game of craps but far from mastered it. The outcomes have been up & down with our last night at a big-time casino—Really plush, red carpets, chandeliers, fat cats everywhere & Randy cleaned up after which winnings totaled $190. After lots of celebrating-dead from excitement & exhaustion‚ heading for the coast. Had my picture taken & made into a "photo button" in less than a minute—color—pretty outrageous to wear around. Good luck in the photo bus—saw your latest p. c. effort in Durango—cute! Love, Linda

Mark, Just arrived in the place of a lifetime after 48 straight hours of driving + pot. Found these two young lovelies in a gas station restroom. After a brief respite, went off to look for pink flamingos. No luck yet. See you the 27th. Marshall
Beth Gafarian to Mark Johnstone
For the immortal being the motor roads have no meaning. But, oh Lord, let me triumph over distance and delay. [?]
Beth Gafarian to Mark Johnstone
Ate (a'te) means delusion or infatuation. Though often personified as a minor diety [sic], it is really a concept rather than a mythological figure.
Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Mark, This is an example of my work for the book—I hope its' [sic] in one piece. Sorry we didn't get to look at you're book stuff—we actually came looking for you after the printer but nowhere to be located. I'll most likely be down for the 4th with some work—I'll probably call to verify anything. I moved—[address redacted and phone]. Just finished applying to Ferguson Grant to pay for this book—I sure home Scott [McLeod] can do a better job—200 line screen AT LEAST. We all want it nice. Molly's getting excited to come. Marshall
Bonnie Lambert to Mark Johnstone
Thursday July 1, 1976 Dear Mark—NYC is mostly weird & sweaty. Lots to look at & to smell. Yesterday at the Whitney I saw a whole roomful of religious furniture made out of silver & gold foil. It is the best art I've seen so far, & maybe ever. Hope your bicentennial celebrations are memorable. Bonnie
Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Mark, I think you done it! Reminds me of a place in S. W. Iowa. How was your trip? How is my sister? Did Scott [McLeod] ever talk to you? Bonnie [Lambert] and I are on a shakedown cruise this weekend in preparation for September. Looks like all will be comfortable. We have to talk soon. Marshall
Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Mark, This traveling is the greatest. Thanks for coming to Bonnie's opening and I really hope you get to come to Los Angeles with us. Marshall
Bonnie Lambert to Mark Johnstone
9.8.76 Dear Mark—Billings doesn't have much magic for us: 2 days are quite enough. The car had to be re-aligned, but otherwise everything is A-OK. On to Chico Hot Springs & Glacier. I am happy you made it to my opening. xo Bonnie
Marshall Mayer to Mark Johnstone
Mark, Lots of photographs though I wish I were rich so's I could take advantage of all this. Bonnie and I could have had a fire tonight but too many bears. We're in the hotel on the other bank. Marshall
