Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, May-July 1944

1944-06-02 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 2

drinks heretofore.
The summer - Palm Beach suit is a service uniform, the lighter weight, bluer sample I sent you.  It is lovely and the nurses and officers all complimented us.  It makes my eyes look bluer, and therefore does a lot for me.  One of our officers wants to take a colored photo of all of us.  That will be nice.  I haven't been out of uniform since February, and scarcely since November.  I don't even think about it, although I may wear shorts boating.
The paint was much like our basement paint, but brighter red.
No, I haven't answered the library card.
Ted is going to bake my spice cake tomorrow.  He is so nice, and phones me occasionally to visit a little.
I owe lots of letters, just as I knew I would, but will try to work off a few as I can.  I'm determined to keep you up to date, so others will just have to wait.
I'm going to try to see Foddy sometime fairy soon.  Maybe I can meet him at Stratford for a play.
Size nine and a half is right for the stockings.  No, I don't need more right not.  Really, a package of eats would be most welcome.  Could you include a package or so of American cheese? or a chunk of smoked cheese?
