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

1945-01-14 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 2

said if it wasn't brown enough he'd fry it for me.  He's nice.
After a leisurely dinner we came home.  Johnny and Jay went in to town to visit some people.  I went over to the lounge.  The padlock hadn't snapped properly so it was unlocked but the fellows stood there like lambs.  They had their watches in hand and were going to wait till the dot of six thirty and then go in if I weren't there.  I cleared up the library desk, since a volunteer wasn't coming.  Then I did odd jobs and answered questions and visited.  There weren't lots of people there because there was a stage show down in the theater hut.  When they came up from that about eight fifteen I played Chinese checkers with Johnnie Collins, at nine I locked up and, as usual, he "walked me home" and carried my books for me.  So that's a typical Sunday.  Other days are more hectic because I have people to plan work for and requests to fill. 
Jay says she doesn't want to hear any more about Jalma for her, that the debt is all paid.  What's Hill's address?
When we go visiting we get army food points if it is over two days and actual rations if it is under.  
You probably have my letter about Helen C. and why I don't say anything about her any more.
No, I haven't riden my bicycle for quite a while.  It is in good shape, but now that the days are so short I don't seem to have good enough weather or enough spare time for it.  When spring comes we are looking forward to nice trips to see people.
What nice things you got for Christmas!  Yes, I remember all too well the falling down episode.
No, it was Nellie's arm in the rabbit pictures.
Col. Dyke says Mary F. Martin is coming again soon, so I suppose I'll be stepping out in style again before long.
Love,
Helen
