Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, April-September 1945

1945-06-21 Helen Angell to Bess Peebles Fox Page 3

gay times. People thirty years older than you are riding here & in England.
Like the war problems, the peace problems look quite different from this angle. They are made up of tiny issues, like going out with German girls if you are stuck in a little German town for months, how to get home if you have the points, whether to go to the Pacific or not. The big international issues seem taken for granted. There is practically no feeling toward withdrawal or isolation. I haven't heard one man express the belief that we could get along alone.
If Grace could make the sleeves a little shorter in my other blouse it would be fine. Maybe an inch. And remember how little my wrists are--5-3/4 inches around, to be exact. That would be better than taking it up afterward. I just love the blouse, and it goes to every dance on me. I'll watch for some Chanel No 5 that is more reasonable. I think $14. is too much for a small bottle that is probably half water.
Time to go home now.
Love, Helen
