Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, October-December 1943

1943-11-02 Page 3

I'll see about the tray when I come to pack. I know it would send all right by express. You see, I am allowed just so many pounds for everything; bed-roll (about 40) suitcase (about 30) and locker (not over 100), so if space is too limited the tray will have to go. I don't think it will be necessary, however.
Saturday Helen Crumm & I went by bus out to Chevy Chase & I got a very nice light blue regulation cardigan at Bests (branch of New York one advertised in New Yorker) It was necessary to wear over hospital uniforms when going from ward to ward.
No, I don't think I'd better have any books, as it would be hard to return them.
I'm glad you saw Ruth Minor.  I thought she'd be surprised; kids always assume you're settled for life.
Sara Logue, who is not my only roommate since Betty Tyler left Saturday, is lots of fun. Last night I discovered she is a TriDelt - went to Vanderbilt. We get milk & fruit & get our own breakfast so we can sleep
