Helen Angell Fox letters to Bess Peebles Fox, January-May 1944

take years for me to tell you all of them.
My cold is all gone and we are having fun hiking around the camp and going to movies.
What a time Betty & Wil have! I can't imagine anything worse than those children with the chicken pox.
Which of the mystery stories did you read, or was it one I haven't seen? I think two suitcases should arrive before long by express and you ought to enjoy the books in them.
Yes, I learned to play gin rummy, & beat the poor fellow who was teaching me.
I may phone you, as your letter sounded receptive. I'll have to see.
I'm glad Nora is in Red Cross. I was afraid she's wait too long.
S.A.F. stands for Service to the Armed Forces.
I heard Little Jack Little when he was at Forest Glen. His jokes off the air were better than those on.
I was addressed by first name by many, "Ma'am" by many , "Honey",  "Sweetheart" and even "Snooky". Those fellows are rare. I'm enclosing the certificate the ward called "Blockbusters" gave me. The one signing it was the gambler I mentioned. Being "G. I." is what one avoids at all costs. It includes snobbishness, stuffiness & general regimentation.
Love,
Helen
