  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/01/1912

    89 Anson Street

    Barrow in Furness, England

    c. Spring, 1912

    My Dear Son,

    Always glad when the time rolls arround to get your letter and I hope soon and to hear you say I have got it. Got the place you desired most. It is over 9 years since I heard those words how sweet they sounded in my ears ever since I have watched and waited for more good news. Never satisfied with all these years of hearing of your great success. Still wanted to hear more, more, more. Never satisfied, I guess till we hear of you being No.1 in the U.S.A. Not Cushing's equal but his superior.…

    Glad to hear you had an offer from Detroit. Hope your way may be made very plain that you may make no mistakes in your choice. If you could get Cushing's place now couldn't you take general surgery, say next summer or some other time.

    I surely would let my independence go if I could get anything out of Cushing by so doing. Independence is alright if a man can afford it. A man like C. can, but in the beginning of your career not much money not much notoriety or power. It is well to humble yourself if you can accomplish some good thing by so doing. I like to see you independent but not at the expense of loosing a good position. A word from him if he would favor you with a good recommendation aught to get you anything or any place if you can trust him to do so.…

    We had a lovely walk through the channel yesterday to Walney.… When the tide gets out you can walk on a nice wooden walk. It had just cleared the walk or soon after we got there. We were between the two waters. It was lovely to see it on either side. Put me in mind of the children of Isreal walking through the Red Sea. Mountain of water on each side and a path prepared for them to walk through. They needed faith. It must have been trying thinking the water might rush back on them and be lost. Their faith was in the One who was able to take care of them and bring them to safety. What a great and loving God is ours. Let us not forget to trust in Him at all times.…

    We have good meetings here. Last Sunday we went to three. They were fine. A preacher that had been 30 years in Spain was here. He was fine. It is nice to hear the old old story of Jesus and his love.…

    Your loving Mother
