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

1944-05-28 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 2

like being in Washington.  Hope she gets over her anemia soon.
None of the chocolate has come yet, but I'm sure we'll like it.
We hear most of the programs re-broadcast.  Information Please, Charlie, etc.
Four days is excellent time for a letter, isn't it?  Your take six or seven days usually.
Yes, the Army man is settled.  He's not half as ambitious as he was a couple of weeks ago.  Wednesday we moved our craft shop up to what was until recently the patients PX and it is wonderful.  It gives us a lay-out like this: (drawing of rooms)  There are big casement windows on all sides and on the "up" side French doors from the lounge to a cement porch.  On the "down" side a covered ramp leads to wards on either side.  The shop has loads of shelves, gas plate, sink, and a big sliding panel that opens up into the lounge so we can serve refreshments.
I'm glad you sent the sheets, as it will give me an extra between launderings.  No more seeds, thanks.  I haven't been able to get many of mine planted, as the soil is so difficult.
