Monday evening (12:01) (June 28)
Hey, you Ass,
Just read your letter. About time you wrote. We really didn’t think you would - so soon that is. Parents really enjoyed your note so you’d better keep up a steady, if short, correspondence. No kidding, Mom & Dad got a big kick out of hearing all your doings and they do appreciate the time you take to write. In fact, Mom said none of us were to write you until you wrote first. You know, to make you realize how good it is to receive mail when you’re away from home. She didn’t know that I had already dropped you a note.
The pups really have parents all pushed-out-of-shape. Dad spent all day yesterday taking pictures of them and Mom loves them all so much she doesn’t want to give any of them away. Dad likes the little brown girl ’cause she’s so aggressive + fat. Mom likes “Lily” the white one and little “Jeanne”.... I suggested letting the Ho’s have “Lily”, then we could still see her all the time. We should keep “Jeanne” ’cause she’s not so strong or well as the others. She’ll need very special, gentle care until she grows stronger.
Darling Walter is summer school mate of yours, or have you found out? By all means do look up the “little boy next door”. Saw him at the Annie Chow’s wedding Sat. Man, what a slimy blob of pus...
Cal, Elaine, Aubrey, & Ellen took me out for Mun-E-Mean in New Chinatown. Aubrey has long [...] side burns. Why? I wouldn't know. But he looks like Foo Man Chew. Cal has a new black Olds Sedan – very nice....They all send you regards.
School seems really – quiet, different without Geino [pronounced "Jean-O"] around. Wonder how his first day at camp with the 36 kids was. I won't write him until he writes me first – Real Cool, eh?
Damn Red, the cop, didn't show up tonite. And I can't wait around for him tomorrow. Parents expect me home for dinner. Tonight they had dinner, and bridge, at the Finkels.
Sue Chow officially announced her engagement Sunday. Mom & I didn't go to the party. The guy is some fellow from down South – Georgia or sump tin'.
Al's coming home on the 7th July. Nice.
With Geino gone, Carl up North, Rick in New York, Kurtz on his new job…I've nobody to even talk to – sob. Except Dan Kirsten. He's a nice guy. Spent the evening with me in the A-P-T – while I waited around for Red.
Have you called Sparky or the Fongs? Let me know how Sparky & Raymond & Kenny are. Give them all my very slup-pist fondest regards. Watch out for any friend of Donald’s. Check his cigarette brand. Write me the intimate details of this orgy you're having – go crazy kid.
Love, Lil
