Marsha is right that you are not responsible for her depression or her actions! And absolutely do not give out phone. Stick to your boundaries, yes. It sounds like the woman has some big issues and is very lonely...but you can't fix that.

The thing to do is stick to them. If she continues to try to make you feel bad in her letters, you can say that you do not respond to letters that make you feel bad (or you can just ignore those letters, or all her letters). Keep your phone number to yourself. Nothing you do will send her into a deep depression - her own inaction might, but that is not your concern. You have offered helpful ideas and advice, and her refusal to pay any attention shows that she is not really interested in changing her condition. She just wants to keep the ball in the air, and doesn't believe that she can do so (or doesn't want to do so) unless it involves making you feel committed to her in some way. It's okay to refuse increased communication politely - you don't have to make excuses, and you can still be friendly and supportive within the boundaries that you have explicitly set. It is weirdly reminiscent of a boyfriend who won't take no for an answer, and you have no obligation to accommodate someone else's standards for friendship - a friendship has to be a win-win situation where the participants acquiesce to one-another's stated boundaries, or it isn't a friendship at all, imho.
