Bess Peebles Fox letters to her daughter, 1943-1945

as are the summer and winter bicycle seat covers.  I fear their coming home mean you couldn't take your bicycle to your new location - What did you to with it?  Can you have it sent to you later?  The lite was broken, but like the one that was broken in the box last fall, it is in just two pieces and can be mended.  What a lovely set that is Mrs. Goddard gave you - Just think of the hours & hours of work on it!  She must like you - That was the end of the unpacking and what fun it was - Those boxes did well to stand the trip over & back - They  got a little soft so are now on the front porch tied up for the Boy Scouts to collect - After a bit of reconstructing they'll probably go overseas again for the Govt.
Got the ironing done by 1:30 this afternoon - then sewed all P.M. - Still cold & rainy - Three years ago today John - Rilla - Edna & Prof Hendrick were here for dinner.  I hated to have you go back to Milwaukee, I remember.  Five years ago today I was visiting (pie?) in the afore mentioned Milwaukee and it was snowing.  Remember how cold & wet it was when we came out from "Richard II"?  I read an article last week about the wonderful job Maurice Evans is doing in the South Pacific.  I'd like to see him again sometime.  
I've spoken only two words to people today "good morning" to milkman & postman - not even a phone visit from June. - It got so cold that the furnace came on at 2 this morning - I had it set for 60. - Just saw a gleam on the floor and investigated hoping it was that tiny piece of silver from the spoon - it was a pin.
Love and thanks for my part in these nice & interesting packages.
Mother
(Oh yes there was also that little silver (dingous?) Jay gave you Christmas what is it used for?)
