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

1944-07-30 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 2

The foot care is expensive, but life isn't much fun if the damned things hurt.  I walk on concrete so much that I usually change shoes and hose several times a day.  Sometimes I have to go back to an old broken down pair.
The news from France and Russia is fine today. It looks as though it might not be so long.  I hope they can make them stop those nasty flying bombs soon.
I haven't been to a movie for ages. 
Thursday I took eleven men on the boat ride (as always, to Abingdon on Thames) and we picked up five girls. I was proud of us. It didn't rain and was very pleasant.
I'm experimenting with a loom and working out a plaid.
You know, I don't know what to do about Christmas. Had I better postpone it or try to send things? With all the boxes you are sending I wish you wouldn't do anything extra for Christmas and do use my checks when you need to to get the stuff I ask for.
Love,
Helen
P.S. Congresswoman Bolton, who got nurses made into real officers by congress, is a visitor here now.
