The letter, transcribed

August 22, 1957 3:15 P.M. Dear Bob, I was so glad to hear from you. I wasn't thoroughly convinced you were going to write. Right now I'm watching "American Bandstand." It's just the greatest! It's a nation wide broadcast from 3 to 4:30 Monday - Friday. I see it on WMUR-TV in Manchester, N.H. Do you watch it? If you don't, you really should. Early this afternoon I went downtown & met Geri & Honey. Sometimes Geri tries her hardest to make me feel like a 1st class fool & today was one of those days. I was so embarassed 'cause she talks so loud & everything. I really like her a lot but sometimes she just pains me. Don't mind me, always complaining. Honey O'Connor is having a party next Thursday. I sure wish you were here so I could ask you to go with me. (I wonder if you would after Paula's party?) Monday I had most of my curls cut off & I look much better (not bragging) if you can imagine me looking good, ever! Gee, looking this letter I realize my writing is very sloppy. Please excuse it but the paper is against my knees & is kind of wobbly. I do have a picture I can send you but its not handy right now so I'll send it the next time I write, OK? Send me one of you too! Well I've got to go now. Think of me in your spare time if its not too boring a thought! Love ya lots Fran
