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

1945-03-11 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 3

It makes a perfect gift, and I'm getting a bit low.  Also I'd love some evaporated milk.
I just got your letter thirteen about the tax blanks and the big envelope ditto Saturday.  My, but they took a long time!  I've also gotten nineteen, twenty, twenty one and v-mail twenty three.  I'm very sorry to hear about Blanche and Lewis though, like you, not surprised.  I swear it is impossible to live a normal married life when all your friends and neighbors are messing around with each other.  California life is too hectic, too childish, and too unsettled.  I don't know that it's all California either; from what I've learned from the men I meet by the thousands, I'd say it is a very rare one who has "one-woman" tendencies to any marked extent.  It's really an eye-opener.  I think she'd be better off, and Kenneth certainly would, to do as you said and clear things up.  It's a shame.
I'll look for Jack Logan.  I don't think so.
Tell Gretchen I loved the pictures and can't think why I failed to mention them.
The apricots were excellent, so soft and fresh.  Polly helped me eat them.  The cocktail crackers have also made a great hit.  By the way, can you get Nescafe?  If you can, I'd like some very much.
