Dear Betsy,
What has happened to you? I haven't heard from you except when I called Christmas. I miss you so much. I don't understand. Did I say something wrong? I got a lot of nice things (clothes) for Christmas. Bob got me a 14K gold cross. It is dointy. Now I need the chain.
My feet are breaking down. It is very cold here. I will probably end up in the hospital. i am up at 6 am and go to bed between 9-10 pm. I read from 6 am to 10 am in bed to cool my legs and feet. I am getting depressed. I can do so little and never get out anymore. I don't have many friends. I sent Sandy lots of papers on thing for a report. I hope she appreciates it. It took a lot of time. But I have loads of time. Bob sleeps mostly every day. I don't know how he can sleep so long. I wish I could. I am in a lot of pain with my feet. I have to soak my feet in cold water every night. It is so painful. Than I cover them with cream.
I am sending these 2 coupons. I hope you can use them.
The Mormons aren't like there were out west. The Bishop is my home teacher and no visiting teachers. We really need help. So I am calling tonight and leaving the church. I'll go where people care and understand. I have paid tithing and I can't get out to meetings because of my feet. I have really helped the missionaries a lot. I have studied the scriptures and books every day. I guess I will just read my Bible which Bob gave me. I really love it.
January 10
Everything is going wrong. I want to get this off to you before the mailman comes. I am so upset and depressed. My feet hurt so bad. Remember alwasy that I love you very much. I miss you. Please write or call. Please. I love you.
All my love,
Mom
