Tehran <-> Washington, DC 1970-1973 teen girl blog
Back in 1970, Hilary and Kathy were 14 years old and best friends in Washington, DC. Then Kathy moved to Tehran. They wrote to each other pretty often--and kept the letters--for your pleasure as a proto-blog from the 70s. The letters start here.

Hilary to Kathy, November 8, 1972, cont., Arlington, VA

Nixon wins.

The election has really sickened me. I guess I won’t say anything to bore you - but it really is disgusting to think what America is coming to – especially in the next 4 yrs. Shit man, Nixon is such a PIG! Oh well…

Have you been writing much? I wish you’d send me some of your stuff – I’d really like to read it – you know I’ve always admired your talent – Really! No shit! Surprisingly, I’VE had to write tons this year- and now that I’m kinda used to it I like it.

I had my hair cut – just a little! Most of it’s still here – You know how they have those tapered cuts that are short in front and get longer around to the back – Well, sometimes the front curls right & sometimes it doesn’t – if we order any I’ll show/send you my Senior (woo!) picture – which sort of has it – it looks strange nevertheless. But if I put the front behind my ears (when straight) it looks the same as ever.

Tina might move to San Francisco. Karen went to Germany, I think. John C. is getting freakier – and quite full of himself – a real skeptic – plain obnoxious usually. Caye C. is a cheerleader, of course – also a slut! As are most of that bunch. UGH UGH.

Liz is a phorensics contestant – also developing a writing style and not half as neurotic as C. Bridget dislikes Kansas U, wants to transfer out to North Carolina – Chrass dislikes Boston U. – is more pompous than ever.

American U. has had 2 free concerts lately – Grateful Dead & Chicago – held on baseball field – nice affairs – paid for w/funds from students’ activities fee. That’s the only decent thing to do on weekends anymore.

Are you going to come back this year??? If you move to New Jersey I’ll come and see you or vice-versa. Maybe I should go to Rutgers or Princeton – I guess your father’s staying in the army, eh what?

I dreamed/dreamt that you came back to see me- it was funny – you were so close and everything was so normal & all – I really felt disappointed when I woke up – Anyway, that means that you’re coming, right???

Oh well – Better study my govt. philosophy …. DON’T be like me – Write! LOVE, Hilary
