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

1945-04-05 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 1

April 5, 1945
Dear Mother,
Box thirty seven came with the lovely poncho and the delicious pears.  I think the poncho will be just the thing to take when riding in this often-damp climate, and I hope it will last for football games as well.
The pears were excellent; where did you find them?  I hadn't seen any for several years.
We used the rusk immediately.  Joyce had a can of chicken we used on it one night and we had Polly's anchovies on it another time.  The bars were good, too, and came in good shape.  Thanks a lot.
Nellie is back; she got here yesterday after almost seven weeks at home.  She looks well and rested and was very anxious to get back here.  She found it pretty tame for a steady diet and was afraid she'd miss out on the finish.  We are taking things much easier now and are having at least two days off a week.  Joyce has been urging me to take extra ones whenever I want as I have had quite a lot of work during the winter.  
I'm going to London with Johnnie tomorrow night or Saturday morning for a couple of days.  We want to go out
