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

1944-05-05 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 3

served her some. She said it was food for the Gods. I wish you'd stick some in occasionally to fill up corners. Could you send gum drops or milk chocolate, do you suppose?
Dorothy's Ted called over at the office, but I wasn't there. He will try again.
That place in Michigan was about forty miles west of where Uncle Jap worked. I can't recall the name of it for the life of me, but I remember that it was on a peninsula that stuck out into the lake.
Helen Ciancimino is the Staff aide. Apparently the nail polish shampoo did her no harm.
No, the cosmetic bag is the kind that goes in a purse to carry a compact. Don't bother about the lipstick. I really have plenty for a long time.
We have some big tomato plants in our windows that are ready to set out. Tomorrow was supposed to be my day off, but I may get the garden started.
I think the letter had extra postage because I lacked the right kind of stamps.
I'm sorry to hear of Ern's death.
I'd love to have some angel food.
How nice that Betty H. is coming.
This answers only two of the letters I have so I'll try to continue tomorrow.
Love, Helen
P.S. We've had dozens of visitors since I started this.
