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

and puts on a regular floor show in the evening when he feels frisky.  the other night when he was in here I was looking under the bed for him when he came out the other way and licked the bottom of my foot.
I've got so many Christmas notes and cards to write that I'm quite discouraged.  I'm now in the stage of putting it off from one day to (nother?).
My full time volunteer, Miss Bernstein, starts tomorrow.  She's very pretty and seems very willing and capable.  I hope she works out well.  (She didn't) just wanted to drift around the wards & smile - no work!)
We are having a Thanksgiving party Thursday night and I was working on decorations today.  Bright paper leaves tumbling down the dark blue blackouts, turkey cutouts on the columns, russetty fringes on the lights and streamers for the ceiling and a string of bright pennants on each end of the hall.
We're to have ice cream for the first time on Thanksgiving and twice a week thereafter.  That's because the U. K. restriction is off for civilians now.  We had been abiding by it too.  Of course, we had whipped up some bootleg ice cream from time to time.
Love,
Helen
