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

ones I'll have to do when I'm not so busy.
My laundry goes every Sunday morning and comes back the next Friday or Saturday. They do excellent work. I think it goes to London. We all send it together. Dry-cleaning is good too and goes at the same time. It's so nice to have clean, slick sheets so often. I'm afraid I'm going to be spoiled about ironing hereafter. I never did like it. My laundry and cleaning run about [pound symbol]2 a month.
They change the APO because the other one went somewhere else. Clear?
Pat, the land army girl, brought us a basket of apples yesterday. How we love them!
I didn't ask Mary for more bars then because I thought two boxes was all she had! I've remedied it.
Would you send me more stockings? Navy, fairly sheer, or rayon mesh in a 9-1/2. They are going fast now, as they are all about the same age.
Yes, our ride to [W-?] was rained out. We are going to try again and if we can get reservations in this crowded validation period, may stay over & go riding in the Cotswolds the next day.
Love, Helen
