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

1944-05-28 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 4

first time I'd had a chance to sit down to that, & it reminded me of Walter Reed.  I played dominoes, checkers and Chinese checkers.
I have several wards well in hand as to crafts organization, and they are the most important ones, as they are the ones with lots of bed patients in pulleys and scaffoldings.  It's fun to get them started on string belts and wallets and things and see them enjoy them.  One one ward I have a fellow with badly burned hands, who is doing clay modeling.
To get back to my doings, after the lounge closed, I wondered over to the officers club and had a gin and coke and then came home in about an hour, as I was very sleepy.
My garden is wilting down today or the sun is very bright and shines for eighteen hours at a stretch.  The poppy seedlings look especially limp.  
Weber, our detail man, was going to get me a sprinkler, but he was shipped out yesterday so we now have 1 (illegible) a Wisconsin boy, in his place.  Weber was a rogue, but I miss him.
I hear the Jack Benny show down the hall.
Love
Helen
P.S.  Please send a box - assorted eats.  I'm abbreviating the envelope address because I'm lazy.
