Dear Betsy,
I imagine you are getting anxious to move. I hope I can see you when you come. Grandma and Grandpa would love to see you also. How is school? Sandy started yesterday and she already has a lot of homework. I am now working the night shift 11-7:30 am. I go to bed between 12-1 PM and get up at 5 or 6 PM and eat supper.
Sandy runs lots of errands for me. She is on a diet. She wants to be thin like you. My knee still has a scab and will leave a scar. I can't swim now becasue I got athletes foot really bad. I didn't get to see your dad when he brought the car. I was asleep. Sand saw him for three hours. What do you want for Christmas? Mommy has not much money as I lost time from work and no pay. Why don't you write me? I miss your letters. Don't you love me. Please try and write me. Is Kirstie okay? She never writes. Do you still sew all the time? I am glad you have the machine. I have to go and use Grandma's when I need one. I am starting to knit again. My left hand is almost well. I am thankful. Please tell dad how much I want the Mormon books. I bought most all of them and I want to read them. He has all the other books. Well, I hope you are well. Please remember I love you. I gave you life and you are precious to me. I love you.
All my love,
Mom
