Helen Fox Angell letters to Bess Peebles Fox, July 1944-April 1945

1944-08-29 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 2

a while, and then later about not needing so much sweet things.  As you may recall, my gentle hints were misconstrued!  Anyway, I hope we understand each other now.  I'll be delighted to get anything you send but just relax and send things only when you want to and it isn't a nuisance.
Jay loved your letter about our needing a spanking.  She just can't tell her father that salami once a week isn't wise.
How nice about your service pin.  I thought they were very lucky when you started helping them, and I'm glad they appreciate you.  We'll wear our ribbons, etc to Legion conventions, won't we?  I have an ETO ribbon so far, you know.
The I. C. girl is Elaine HERVERT.
Dora wrote me an answer to mine of last summer, I guess.  She looked up my hospital through army information.  She's a physiotherapist like Polly.
The Cotswold are a hilly district with houses & fences of grey slate, very picturesque & old.  No, we haven't gone yet.
Tomorrow night I'm going with Col Dyke to a play at Stratford "As You Like It".  It should be quite a treat.
