Some unusual aspects of this one:<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\r\n Saturday\r\n [pencil: 5\/4\/66]\r\n\r\nH'ro\r\n\r\nLickety-split, trippety-plit, off to do last paper of\r\ncollege career, field comprehensives x project on\r\nCreativity, ho ho. have been reading and thinking madly all\r\nquarter, now have less than a week to write it all and get\r\nit typed and handed in--midnight Friday, to be exact. plus\r\ntwo little papers and xxx three books to read and 90 billion\r\nlittle details to cover....\r\n\r\nHave reservations for you at the Drake motel in x\r\nSpringfield for Friday and Saturday June 17 and 18, at\r\n$10.30\/night, which is reasonable considering local rates\r\nand crowdednesses;;also Susie has reservations for her\r\nparents at a motel in Xenia, but they may not come, and I\r\nmay switch to those if they indeed x decide not to. She has\r\ndecided not to graduate, xx this year, as she was unable to\r\nfinish her thesis (histoyr) and will do so this summer,\r\ngraduating in absentia next x june, for a fee of $50 for the\r\ncollege to carry her as a student on leave for the year.\r\nPretty popular move among history seniors--about 10 of 20 of\r\nthem are doing this, as history theses are notoriously\r\nterrible and boring, especially for the people writing them.\r\nThey all pick obscurre little topics--Susy is doing one on\r\nRichard Haliburton, Rhodes' is on the coronation of\r\nCharlemagne; he might not make it either--and then get\r\ndisgusted with how irrelevant they are.\r\n\r\nYou might make reservations for the xxxxxx luncheon after\r\ngraduation; I don't care about the dinner. That's up to you;\r\nwill you be here by then? Don't know if you have to pay for\r\nme or not, but I suppose you do; you could ask when you\r\nreply. We invite you to dinner on Saturday, here, along with\r\nRhodes' mother and a friend from Tucson.....ah, so. Suzy\r\nsays yes I have to be paid for at whatever meals.\r\n\r\nZhhhh.....Annie's sister and her two kids just showed up to\r\nborrow our phone--they (her sister and husband) both went to\r\nAntioch and are xx living here now-; he is an actor, and a\r\npretty damn good one, and the area theater needs him most\r\ndesparately....just convinced them to send their kids to\r\nAntioch school next year (nursery school and kindergarten)\r\nso I feel like I've done some good in the world.\r\n\r\nNever got the letter from Carole Picardo you forwarded; I\r\nshould write to her anyway but xxxxxxxx am extending a\r\nmoratorium on letters till all work is done. Did get the\r\npackage with stuff, but no plimasin as yet. rush a little;\r\nI'm beginning to eat them like candy xxxxxxx again.\r\n\r\nHAVE X TO STOP<\/u> STOP<\/u> STOP<\/u> fooling ariound right now this\r\nminute and get to work. nuff. nonsense, work work work.\r\n\r\n [handwritten: love, Marcia]\r\n\r\n\r\noh, just loooked at later letter.\r\n\r\nthanks for check; it was most handy.\r\n\r\nIt might be just as well if you didn't get here Thurday\r\nnight, as things will be a mess and I have promised to type\r\nseveral papers for people who aren't graduating and thus\r\ntheir work isn't due till then (Thurs or Fri) and will have\r\nlots of people to say goodbye to and lots of running around\r\nwithout sleep and simply won't be able to pay much attention\r\nto you until Friday, and it'll be pretty dull anyway. Also\r\nwe want to get the house cleaned up before you get here, to\r\nbe properly impressive and all.\r\n\r\ndo you need directions from rte 40 or can you get them from\r\nAAA or something? will be glad to send some if necessary.\r\n\r\nIf you would care to bring about 2 dozen bagels and suitable\r\nquantify of lox and such, we'd all be more than delighted.\r\n\r\norg, back to work.\r\n\r\noh, one more: don't worry about rushing to be here in time\r\nfor anything; whenever you get here (and if it works out\r\nbest to get here Thursday then please do so) will be plenty\r\nof time to do all the things to do.\r\n\r\nAslo, don't expect me to go back with you, as I'm used to\r\ntraveling at a different pace and stopping will drive me\r\nnuts, and I'm not even sure I'm going east right\r\naway....depends on lots of things, like whether job promises\r\nget definiter or the National Teacher Corps sounds more\r\nattractive by next week than they do now, or what. all is\r\nstill far up in the air, and most open-ended.\r\n\r\nBACK TO WORK KID. NOW.\r\n\r\n [handwritten: love, M]\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/p>\r\n
