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

1944-09-02 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 3

Dyke Wed. eve. that I was planning on a trip there and it depended somewhat on what happened to Jay's application for leave.  I don't now whether or not it helped, but the next morning his executive officer phoned her that it was granted.
I, too, wish the sweater were a trifle darker, but I have a lipstick that just matches it and it looks nice.  When I think of how much I wanted an excuse for knitting in the past, it makes me furious to have to buy them.
The clouds are scurrying across the sky and through them go the big bombers, now visible and now in the (illegible).
Joyce, in particular, is drooling over the orange slices.  We all like them, but she is a pig about them.
The pictures are of Joyce (dark) & Gen at (Flanders?) (the ((orme?) we climbed in back) Anne Hathaways cottage from the orchard where we spent the afternoon, Jay and Hamlet, & Helen C. & I on the back steps of A.H.'s cottage.
Love
Helen
P.S.  I can't write on the backs of the picture because of censorship.
