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

1944-08-19 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 2

time here.
Today Mrs. Roseberg, the President's secretary visited the hospital and talked quite a while with me in the craft shop.  She seemed nice.
I wrote Mrs. Dewey yesterday and just had to send it Iowa City, as I didn't know her address now.
I had a nice letter from Don yesterday also.  He had been in Rio de Janiero.
Your letters received are fourteen, fifteen and seventeen.  Sixteen came way early in five days, I believe.  The first four big package have come.
We are having small, rather firm tomatos from our kitchen raised plants that now are in front of the office.  I pick and eat one every little while.
Today one of my volunteers, Mrs. Coster, brought me a nice sack of plums from her tree.
The reason I don't like to wear my cap is that I've worn it constantly since October.  It is not too fresh and is quite hot in warm weather and is wearing a think spot in my hair.
Yes, that is my Kodak.  The building was one facing the Avon.  I don't know the name of it.  No bomb damage in Stratford. -
Yes, I got the chocolate in Betty's package.  They all come well and are intact.  I think your trick of sewing them up in cloth is good. 
I should say I am glad I came in.  I wouldn't have missed it for anything
