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

1944-06-14 Helen Angell to Mrs. Bess Peebles Page 2

the right size for French.  Also for holsters for captured German pistols and knives - and the tales they tell!
Yesterday was Jay's birthday.  I got her "white cliffs" today when we were in town, as I couldn't get in before.  Last night Polly and I rode bicycle about twenty miles, which made me stop feeling stuffy.  It was lovely.  Then we had a pint of Scotch one of the officers had given to Jay, pineapple juice and steaks the mess hall boys had fixed for us.
This morning we slept late, then shopped a little and then took a bus to another town (along side Abington I think) about eight miles away.  We rummaged around curio shops & I got several things, including a pair of candlesticks for Johnnie's birthday, which is Friday.  She, Lucy, Jay and I are going to a play that night.
Love
Helen
