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

1944-05-01 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 4

tomato juice.
Besides the other places, we have an entertainment hut with stage & movie machine that seats a couple of hundred.  So you see we will keep busy.
This morning I got up early & went in to see & hear the May day singing & folk dancing (in college courtyards or greens).  Major Anderson picked me up at the gates & took me in.  It was fun to see the crowds milling around & to join them.  After supper Gen & I took a walk down the lonliest deep shady road that leads to town.  There are grey walls covered with ivy on either side & the birds are lovely.
Fruit trees are in full bloom, also lilacs and wall-flowers.  The roses are coming along.  I'm anxious to get the seeds planted, as there is plenty of place.
Ask all the questions you want now.  If I can't answer them I'll say so.
Jane Shuttleworth is here in England, I saw by the R.C. news.  She was at Walter Reed, Juliette & Fran are in New Guinea Juliette's letter says.  Mrs. Sloan Colt is a society light - international!
Love
Helen
