Hilary to Kathy, February 1, 1973, Arlington, VA February 1, 1973
Dear Kathy –
I have to write you at least a note to prove I’m still alive. At this point I would not blame you if you didn’t care. I will spare you a dissertation on how depressing school is and on the depressing lack of eligible males. Naturally I’m crazy about someone new & improbable. Son of OLD friends who live in Michigan – is 23 – Intelligent, companionable and he & Alex (Alex took the opportunity to hitch a free ride) have gone off to Florida – Alex to my grandparents & Rick H. to friends & work & anything else. May eventually go to law school – maybe I can talk him into the one at Wm> & Mary where I soon hope to be.
I have started self-defense lessons – karate no less! Only proves further my lack of coordination – purpose – to ward off campus rapists!! At this pt. I should be so lucky…
I am writing all sorts of shit for school 1(only) short story is of some merit – Have some new friends & stuff to do but am still BORED shitless – some of us may take up horsebackriding again – Starting last Sunday. I still ACHE!!
I will tell you if I ever get into college – HAHA! WHEN are you coming back??? Don’t go to New Jersey – I neglected to apply to Princeton. What a joke that would have been!
No snow this year – BOO HISS!! Come see my dog – Sam- a new experience! I am sending some earrings. I really haven’t any use for them. Hope you will. You probably already have an identical pair. Spares?
Probably a bad idea – hope they don’t get ripped off.
Send a sign of life sometime soon.
Love, Luck & lollipops! BLECCHH!
Hil
