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

1944-07-21 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 3

"Attention! Bombs may explode," so we stayed toward the other side. A nice British officer assured us that before they started to fire they ran up a flag, but we didn't want to pose a lookout, so stayed away a bit.  Children came and played cricket, people wandered around and sat reading books and families came out for a game or so of something or other. Three cute little girls were told by their mother to stay clear of something that she thought might be a small bomb, so the eldest, about five, would say to the others from time to time, "Mind the bomb, the bomb!"
Love,
Helen
P.S. I hope your feet are coming along well. Remember when I had a similar growth?  Your letter hundred and four came today. I could use more gingerbread mix fairly soon. I still have one unbaked.  Right now I'd like non-sweet things like meats, peanuts, etc. best of all--Summer, I guess, 
H.F.
