  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/14/1943

    The time is drawing to a close - five more days. It is wonderful here. Perfect weather and I hate to leave. Had I known that things at home were so much better without me, I should have stayed another week - but it’s too late now. What I want to know is how Margaret feels without her Daddy. I guess Mary is due a dollar, so give it to her with my compliments and congratulations. I don’t see why Margaret is the only good member of the family - but it has seemed so. Perhaps Mary will blossom out now.

    General Somerville is here now - on his honeymoon. He is the hardboiled guy of the army – but a very determined looking man - he looks the part. The Stouts are here, but so far no golf. But then I already have my friends here - one in every port like the sailor.

    Glad the turkey came, but it’s just like Austin to know when I was away.

    Tell Otenasek to give rounds on Monday and I will probably get back in time for operations at 10, but to call before starting the anesthetic.

    Glad you got my tires fixed up. Am so brown you won’t know me. How is my angel and her whooping cough? She hasn’t written me another story. Tell her I keep the lucky penny in my glasses case. Leave all the necessary spankings to Daddy, who will soon be home.

    Love and kisses and hugs from

    Daddy
