Dear Betsy and Kirstie,
How are you doing? I haven't heard from you in ages. I miss your letters. How is school going for you. Sandy is busy. She has lots of homework. Her foot is better. I am taking her to the doctor on Monday for a check up. She hardly eats. How is your asthma, Betsy? I hope it is better. It has been cool to cold here. My feet like that kind of weather. We like the new apartment. It is not so crowded and is cheerful. There is still a lot to do.
I am still reading "The Wildest Heart" and "Chesapeake." Sandy is selling magazine for school. I am lonely. Time goes so slowly.
Kirstie, how is your big toe doing? I hope it is better and gone. (Please excuse my scribbling but I am tired.) My had is better and I am so glad. It cramps a lot which I think is a good sign. I can knit slowly and I wnat to try to hook a rug.
Sandy has lots of homework most every night. She likes German and speaks it well.
So how did the wedding go? I thought of you both all day. Was it nice? I hope they are happy and all goes well for everyone. How many people came? Write and tell me. My new address is: …
Well, I have no more news. I miss you both very much. I wish you could come and live with me. Do you miss me?
Take care of yourselves. Please write me as soon as possible. I love you.
All my love,
Mom
I love you!!

Dear Sally,
I am writing this letter and will get it copied because of the limited use of my right hand. For the past 6 months I have had no use in it. Then last week it regained some usage. It is hard to write but I have no typewriter now.
I went to MAYO clinic in Rochester, Minnesota for my legs and hands, etc. in June 28. They put me in the hospital for 2 weeks and ran all tests. They came up with 3 diseases all of which there is no known cause, cure or treatment. They all called Erythremalagia, Vasculitis and Acgrocyanosis. I have learn to live with either hot burning, painful feet and knees or cold ones. Plus they said the use of my right hand was gone forever but it is improving. I see a psychologist weekly. I am still on Welfare with food stamps.
Garry and I were officially divorced June 12, 1981. He is in VA now with Betsy and Kirstie. He got married to a 27 year old Allison last night. They have been living together since March 1980. Sandy lives with me. She is 14 years old but wants to be about 16 or more.
My new apartment is nicer. It has central air conditioning and gas heat (this is a must with my feet and legs).
Garry forged our equity check (forged my name) and cost is anxiety and money. I still can't believe he did it. I'll never be able to trust him again.
I am very lonely and would love to hear from you. I have a wheelchair and 2 canes to help me walk. I wish I could do more for myself.
Well, I will close and hopefully get this letter mailed. My parents took me to MAYO. They are both okay. Mom has colitis from worry over me. Please write soon.
Love,
Judy
PS: I can't remember when I wrote last or what I said. Did I pay you for the bread? Please let me know. I am bored and nervous and can't concentrate on things. Please write soon.
Hope you are all well.
