1945-12-28 Helen Fox Angell to Bessie Peebles Fox

P.S. Tell Betty the highways were a glare of ice way to Chicago & beyond.

Dear Mother,

I'm writing this in my very comfortable upper berth after dinner. I've almost finished the joke book. Isn't it good?

This is a swell line; I wonder why. I ever took the Penn. Things are so well organized that I didn't stand in line ever, to get on the train just sat in the station till it was called & went over and got on. The employees are courteous & the dinner good. I sat next to a nice marine lt. just on his way back to work. He got back from Pag Pag or some such place just before Christmas. Almost everyone on the train is in the service.

I'll mail this in Washington so you'll know I got there. I met a woman who wears elbow warmers! Also a girl from New Zealand. 

Love, Helen.

Saving...
