Miscellaneous letters to Helen Fox, 1933-1945

1945-12-18 Jannette Aronson to Mrs. Bess Peebles Fox Page 2

Montreal with the sole purpose of seeing us, and only being able to see her for 1/4 hour.  She had to get back to her children and we hadn't gotten around to seeing my Pop where she was until 1/2 hour before train time.  Sounds complicated?  Well it was.  I simply cannot begin to tell you of all the other events.  And there were so many of my friends and relatives I didn't get to see at all.
Anyway, I said to myself, let me get away from this madhouse, to a nice quiet place like Albuquerque, and I shall finally sit down and write to the Foxes.  So we get to Albuquerque and still I wait impatiently, to have a return address to give you, lo and behold, no living quarters available in the entire city and consequently, no return address.  In desperation, I sit and write now, and by golly you can address us in care of general Delivery.  They tell me there is a housing shortage going on!!!  And how I long for a little place of my own.  What wouldn't I give for it?  Still I guess we are more fortunate than others.  A friend of ours
