Three notes from Lesley:

 

April 25/73 Wednesday

Hai (Alluitious)

Remember the good old days when we used to write notes everyday in French, and after french we'd give in all our little scraps? It was usually for some reason like 'Are you coming to Dave (the gross suck's) funeral? Ha-ha-remember that? Or an apology for a fight? well, we do have a problem-Are you going to phone Jan tonight? Where to go Friday night? I hope you tow work out. (not literally!) (dirty minded son of a.....)

I'm in French now, bored off my buns (it looks funny sitting with my buns raised about 2 inches off the chair) Heh heh heh heh

Oh where, oh where did the good old days go? Oh where, oh where can they be? With his tail cut short [?] cut long, oh where oh where can he be...

Phone me at 7:00 today-okay?
