Correspondence to Walter H. Fox from Bess Peebles Fox, December 1918-March 1919

1919-03-05 Page 2

are so terribly tame compared to yours.  Just now I am very much excited about the possibility of getting over in to Mexico tomorrow - That Cattlemen's Convention is here and Juarez is to be opened tomorrow and a bull fight staged. We had given up going because we had no man and Mr Sutton told Doe it wouldn't be safe for us to go alone -I told my troubles to the lady in the next apartment tonight and her husband said we could trail along with them - so now if I can get a passport tomorrow morning we will go-
This place is sure nearer the "wild" & woolly than I ever expected to get - Have to make raids on the hotels and rooming houses every few weeks & there is hardly a day that some one isn't killed her, so often army men too.  
It has surely done me a world of good to get away from that dinky little Waucoma. Maybe you won't care for me when you get back for I know I have changed considerable.  Am even getting fat and sassy - are you?  Can't you send me at least
