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

all but two in our outfit, and while I like them a lot I'd rather not go out with them seriously. The enlisted, or detatchment men we are not allowed to date, as we have officer status. The patients we work with, play with and enjoy a lot. Most are quite young, as naturally most activity is air-force. The best opportunity for making dates is in London, at one's leisure.
On the date you mentioned as the anniversary of my trip home, I heard the nice chorus, but didn't do much exciting.
We were laughing tonight, J. & I, about how intensely thrilling the things we do and see really are and how blase' we have become about them. A sky full of throbbing planes hardly makes us look up any more, and when a gay young pilot almost lands in our yard and then goes zooming up as a salute to his friends, we take it as a matter of course. Maybe he's a former client.
I'm quite slim, eat like a horse and am losing a little. I think I'll reach a set weight probably & hope it will be becoming.
