Bess Peebles Fox letters to her daughter, 1943-1945

1945-12-28 Bess Peebles Fox to Helen Fox Page 4

think both Betty & Gretchen will drop in.  I'm going to use the old shower curtain to cover the hood of the car.
Have been wondering all day how you got along - what connections you made and if it was so crowded you had to hold all your stuff on your lap - the windows were so steamy we couldn't see when you went.  Did you see us looking for you?  I have your hot water bottle on my game knee - it is much more limber than it was last night - at this time - ordered 150 gal. oil and they'll bring it in the morning. - Didn't you want your comb & brush?  I hesitate to ask!
With all my love to the best daughter - anyone ever had
Mother
9:45 Friday - Millicent just phoned that she & Jack wanted to come see you this afternoon - was very sorry they missed you - Said Jack was here a few days, then back east for discharge & a visit to his family - Came back with flu and had been in bed ever since - This being the first day he felt he could get out.  They'll come see me soon she said - Much love B.F.  (I hear today's Rocket just arriving)
