Mr. Sturges write to me:
Maybe he will think I
am still good enough for
the church.

I have lost 10 lbs
in the last month but
feel pretty good. Frankly
I don't dare go back to
my doctor - I know the
verdict already. But I
do feel good.

I hate to ask this
but would you ask {Doctor} Van
Waters if she has any clothes
she isn't using now. Clothes
are something I can't ever
think of buying for years
ahead as food, and very
little of that, is all I have
money left for now. But
don't think I'm complain-
ing! If you saw my
lovely fat daughter you
too would say she is
worth all that and more
too. She is lovely and is
sweeter every day. I could
eat her. Please write
soon. Love
Barbara
