Dear Sir!&#13;
&#13;
I wrote last Winter asking for one of your disc which I wear. At first I was very stupid about help as I guess I'd more or less gone up.&#13;
&#13;
But to my very big surprise about the 10 of may I began to feel more human. I was back to the U of M twice but no help for me. the risk of doing anything too great. so I take my med. &amp; thank God each day &amp; wear your disc. I can't remember when I had such a wonderful peaceful painless summer. &amp; the get up and go I haven't had in years. I put in a big garden something I haven't done in years.&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
took care of it all by myself canned more than 300 jars of fruit &amp; veg. pickle what ever I had to put up. I even took complete care of the yard, painted the house. He just marveled at the work I was able to accomplish the joy &amp; peace with in myself.  &#13;
My husband does not believe in any thing. He thinks that is a fake word that led others. But - not so with me. He drinks more than a $100.00 a month which worries me besides if he could he should be in quilting. I am grateful I am &amp; I would send a thank offering the first of every day.  &#13;
Well you predict all this rain. We have had no rain since 12 of July. Every thing in July was washed washed out. Millions of crops in damage. I have not seen a thing in that patch.&#13;

Dear Mr. Owens -&#13;
&#13;
I'm enclosing 10.00 - I need another one of your dice -&#13;
&#13;
I wish I could send you a hundred dollars for just one dice, but at present I can only send you 10.00.&#13;
&#13;
Sometimes, some people will not accept a dice because they are accustomed to one way of thinking - but - I've seen where if the dice is in their hand, it does something to new program their way of thinking - it's a sort of unlocking, but I believe it would&#13;

I believe that I have sort of  &#13;
looked after me - protected me  &#13;
in many ways - I have tried,  &#13;
&amp; I believe I have contacted S.I.  &#13;
I have never seen a UFO or  &#13;
flying saucer, but I am a  &#13;
believer -  &#13;
I think you are doing a great  &#13;
job, &amp; I feel your rightful  &#13;
recognition is forth coming -  &#13;
I am in need of a disc  &#13;
called by you -  &#13;
Thank  &#13;

Mr Ted Owens,&#13;
&#13;
As per your instructions in regards to the wearing of the PK disc I have found without a doubt that the disc and everything it represents is very true. I have kept mental notes on its helpful powers. My faith in it will never cease. The unusual things that have happened for me recently are as follows:  &#13;
a. I no longer have pain in my legs after walking or running.  &#13;
b. My legs are no longer weak and seems to be strengthening more each week.  &#13;
c. My duty performance capabilities have increased immeasurably because of constantly being in a relaxed state of mind of which before you gave me the help I needed I was in a constant turmoil.  &#13;
d. My family have also benefited from your help.  &#13;
e. Others have been very cooperative in helping me when the need arises.  &#13;
d. Lastly I feel deep down inside that there is a guiding force that warns me when I am about to make decisions that might interrupt or deter from me enjoying the things that I have worked for or what you have given me the opportunity to have. Thank you. I am very grateful for all you have done.&#13;
&#13;
I will close now and will keep you posted as to things that happen.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,  &#13;
