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

1944-05-10 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 3

Yes, that was quite a place. I'd like to go there again, & hope you can be with me.
The corn should be unpopped, I think. We'll tend to the rest.
I'm glad you sold the boots. Also that the farm is paying. I haven't even cashed my last check yet & it is almost time for another. I want to start a bank account (here).
I had an enthusiastic letter from Helen [Fonda?] today about the garden. I'm so glad she likes to work in it.
I'm glad [Nan's?] books got there. I haven't heard yet from Roberta but hope to [illegible] through too.
I liked a "Tree Grows in Brooklyn". I read it in Washington.
Mrs. Hutchins, our maid, planted some of the verbenas & asters in a little box today to transplant later into the window box. This odd climate makes it so that they are still having frosts.
Time for casino.
Love,
Helen
