Family letters: Spring 1972
This week in my family history project: three letters from my mother and one probably dictated by me. Mostly written in spring 1972.
- March 7, 1971
- A birthday note to George.
- “a friend says my handwriting is quite pretty—too bad she can’t read it”
- I had thought that this one was from 1972, which is why I didn’t post it until today; but on closer examination, I’m pretty sure it’s 1971.
- March 13, 1972
- Another birthday letter to George, this one really from 1972.
- “my goodness, you Hartmans can be wierd, sometimes.”
- April 10, 1972
- A one-page letter from Marcy and a one-page letter apparently dictated by me, both in the same envelope.
- Marcy tells George and Helen about Peter’s suddenly dire academic situation (this was the time when Peter was told that he couldn’t graduate because he was missing a couple of required 1st-year English classes), and I tell them about my Play-Doh coin press.
- “I have a play-doh game. It’s about the play-doh getting squeezed out and it will make a king and a queen.”
