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

1944-10-03 Helen Fox to Bess Peebles Fox Page 3

I'm pleased with Mary's plan.  Suggest to her that she include grosgrain ribbon for the fronts and buttons, as I couldn't get them here.  It will be very nice to do the knitting.
The locker has been swell.  Not a dent in it yet, and it held everything.  The G.I.'s did groan when they lifted it, though.
I should say we did see the gliders, etc. We always do, and it's thrilling.
I'm glad Laura is in Waterloo, as that's where I wrote her.
Yes, E.T.O. is European Theater of Operations.  I think the Kodak is all right - at least the last batch of pictures turned out well.  I took almost a roll in the Highlands this last week.
Yes, the card I enclosed was where we walked.
Nice little poem.  I don't feel as mysterious as it implies, but probably it will be years before the subject is well covered in conversation.
Yes, Wales is beautiful.  Even in winter, I guess, as there isn't as much difference in the seasons as at home.  I don't know what the trees were.  They were around a church where the girls had classes.
You could do just as you like about Mary's ring.  It would be nice to have it set if you can find her size, I think
