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

1944-05-28 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 3

When I said the answer was yes, I meant that you were correct in your conclusion.
The percale is to make little curtains for shelves and slips for chairs.  Chintz would do just as well or better.  Just anything pretty.
Probably the packet had better go to storage.
Yes, the shoe polish came.  Thanks.  I'd love some devil's food mix if you can find it or some fudge mix.  I haven't had the boys bake my cakes yet, as we've had cookies and so forth, and we wanted to wait for a lean time.  I don't need tea.  The O Henrys & Baby Ruths came very well and were excellent.  I think Milky Ways would come well too.  The Hersheys sometimes melt & then solidify crooked, but are good.
Funny about the car.
I must go off to the craft shop now & will answer the last letter & tell the week's happenings tonight if I can.
Love
Helen
