Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, July 1944-April 1945

trouble. They do tease, of course.
No, I haven't written Gretchen yet. I think she owes me a letter, as I haven't had one in a long time.
I'm quite fond of the cherry tree and was expecting things of it.  I think we could protect the cherries as they do here. All the trees and bushes are netted.  Even strawberry patches.
Mrs. Allen sounds nice. I'll be glad to meet her. (Mrs. Forrest Allen, Met at Red Cross room)
That red headed bird isn't the rather scarce red-headed woodpecker we used to have around Wausoma[?], is it? A little smaller than a robin.
I washed clothes and hair a little while ago. Now it looks rainy and I guess I'd better bring things in. I suppose it will be bad tomorrow because we plan an all-day bicycle jaunt to a park and castle in the town of W-- (Wheatley, I think), north of here. We wanted to go in the morning and have Polly come in the afternoon and meet us for supper at an inn there.
Love,
Helen
