Just got the... Off to PO!
--thanks so much! 5/11/71
Dearest Rich,
I’m watching the Emmys and so far I’m quite happy. Mary T Moore didn’t get best actress. Joe Clugman got one for the Odd Couple. It seems the Senator is getting almost everything, not Mary T. Moore. Here are your chips, you probably won’t get any after the rates go up. I’ll save them & put them in boxes when I send them.
We went out for dinner today, I’ll tell you about where etc. on tape
Afterwards we went to the Alberts and I had a drink ( WHOOPIE)
When we got home I washed & set my hair & started an eco lesson I’ll send tomorrow tapeing, cutting the paper. I have to get stamps. Maybe I won’t send it’s tomorrow
“Tribes” original teleplay-the movie about the marine.
George C. Scott-for “The Price”

Dear Rich again,
I got 3 letters and a blank tape today. The tape had a portion of the wrapping paper torn off. There was a customs stamp on it too.
Yes I wear a 6 ½ ring. Just can’t guess what I’m getting!
I don’t remember sending the bill to you. Chances th are I stuck them & that Cooperstown thing in the box to travel home & I forgot about them being in there. I wrote a check out for it today. Also the tax return is in the saving account. I spend as little
as possible. Got some lessons back told about them in the tape. 2 anthro A’s, A in Eco & B+ in Soc. So its Mrs. Len, not Miss Len huh. It’s nice you got it straight. It finally stopped raining, but it should rain tomorrow night. Finished another eco lesson but I won’t type it until I take the test. Read for another soc lesson but only wrote out one answer out of 4. I felt kind of depressed so Mom & I go went to White’s & tried on blouses. I couldn’t find one that fit & didn’t go below the rest of that red pantsuit of mine.
Do you want to know something impossible? Doing that damn record book. I k never know what my expenses are going to be! Especially with taxes, weddings, showers. I never know how much money to budget for things because I don’t know how much I’m going to work. Last month I spent $11on postage! With the rates going up I don’t know what to do!
My buddy Walter Mathau is on. He is funny, Johnny’s in Hollywood.
I was mad, I taped your horsie race & part of the Emmies then this morning that that damn little cassette of Mom’s on the blints! I’ll clean it & see if that helps.
I let Shuvee in when I went up to wash moy my face etc. She’s roaming around. She certainly has a unique personality. She wants some Friskies.I love you-your horsie commercial for Belmont is on. I think of you always.
P.S George C Scott took all the Emmys too!
Love,
Carol
