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

1944-11-08 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 1

Nov. 8, 1944
Dear Mother,
I just got a nice little bunch of three letters from you, forty-five to forty seven inclusive. I'm glad you heard at last. Don't worry if there are interruptions, as I'll be writing as usual and it will be due to mail slow-downs. I presume it will be worse as the winter comes on.
We are going to have a nice week-end, I think, in the Cotswolds. Jay and Polly and I are going Saturday in time for dinner at Whitehall. Mrs. Brodtman's son and nephew and some other guests will be there from London and it should be a nice party. Bobby, the son, will meet us at the bus, although I'm sure this time we could find the lane alone. After a party Jay and I will stay at Whitehall and Polly will stay with Mrs. Jordan in Minster Lovell. She's the nice woman who took us to tea at Burford.  Then the next day we'll loaf around and come home Sunday night. I think we're very lucky to have such a grand country place to go to. Combined with our standing invitation in London, it makes it perfect.
I don't know about the bacon. I'd rather doubt that it would stand the heat and the time. You know how rancid it gets. I can get it here as hospitality rations and I think that might be safer. Much of the salami
