The collection also includes a variety of documents relating to the College of Complexes itself, such as correspondence, press releases, speaker solicitations, and poetry written by the College’s “students.”

User-Contributed Transcription week when he returns from San Francisco. (He's off on a holiday and not know for keeping extensive catalogs of the many films he takes – but you'll get it.)
Love your idea of a senior citizen column. I agree with Louise that you should have takers. Let me know what kind of response you get, and in the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Should have the word on exams in about a month – think I flunked out of school on contracts, and passed torts. But then so does everyone else in the class and the fact is that only half of us will be thrown out. Will have to wait and see.
At long last, here is my check for the lovely suede skirt and vest. Am now off chasing the right thread to try to sew the hem – their glue and press job didn't make it for very long. Were you ever able to make an arrangement for me to get one for my lady lawyer? Couldn't tell from your letter. Let me know. I like mine very much.
Really all the news for now. Will be hoping to hear great things from you in spite of my undue delay in writing. But I still love ya,
Esther
