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

1943-12-21 Page 2

Instead of 15 there were only 6. I wonder if there will be any others by next week.
I should think you could tell Gretchen about Peggy Cobb, if it doesn't go any farther.She didn't say it was a secret at all but I'm sure she wouldn't want it published. I can't get a picture of her because she left before I went to Devens. She is stationed permanently at Halloran General in New York. It is the big receiving & evacuation hospital for the East coast.
I hope Mrs. Meadow's story won't come out till you've received word of where I've landed. That's when the official Red Cross news stories appear. It would be more interesting then, perhaps, but on the other hand maybe it will be secret. I notice that the military asks us to ask our relatives & friends not to publish our letters in papers--not that I think you would.
Mary Condon Arnold phoned this morning. She has been living in a suburb--Hyattsville, Md. since early December. I'll try to get out to see her if I can. She said Don said "he thought" I was still here. Her address, in case you haven't it, is 4203 Queensbury Rd., Hyattsville, MD.
I finished "The Moonstone" last night & liked it a lot. Will loaf through the little books as I feel like it & send them back in the suitcase.
The cookies are extra good & were so
