  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/12/1943

    Walter is about ready to take off for Miami. He should have a fine time. And how is my little angel and the whooping cough? And how was Mary’s pajama party and what is that? A new one to me. You didn’t tell me why Mary quit. And how do you get along! It looks like we will have to wear clothes longer. Tell Miss Margaret I want her to write me another story. That was a lovely one. And more poetry. The lucky penny I keep in my spectacle’s case. Her bank is getting quite heavy. I sent her letter to Kitty with strict instructions to return it, for permanent keeping. Wrote Kitty twice!!! and got a nice letter from her.

    The weather is perfect now warm and sunny and clear. And lots of sunshine and burn and golf. Many very nice people here. Last night I had dinner with Mrs. Garrett and her friends, the Owen Johnsons. Apparently he is a noted writer and gives radio programs from time to time. You probably know him better than I. He never comes on the fight and basketball programs. So how would I know? Am going to Tom Brown’s for cocktails again tonight, to the Owen Johnsons’ for dinner tomorrow. Dr. Brown is nearly blind, but very cheerful and happy. A most attractive man. His wife is very nice. The Campbell children are here. Dr. C. is in a camp at Columbia S.C. and they are trying to be near him. Two doctors are here from Saranac, another from New York. There is no food scarcity.

    The cough is dwindling. Just had a dip in the ocean! Played bridge a couple of times. Have finished the Dean Lewis volume and last far as the writing is concerned.

    Just read of a tumor operation at Ann Arbor. Think that is the case they wired me about before leaving! A lady who is here said I operated on her little niece the day I left.

    Hope you get to N.Y. with Miss Thomas. Take good care of my sweethearts. I’ll soon be back. Does Margaret agree that she is better when her Daddy is away?

    Love and Kisses,

    Walter x x x x x x
