  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 04/03/1912

    89 Anson Street

    Barrow in Furness, England

    April 3, 1912

    My Dear Son,

    …When I read his [Pa's] letter to you I thought I believe Pa would like you to get all three positions. He thinks Cushing will soon be in the background and you in the lead. Dr. Cushing following close behind trying to get a chance to speak to you. He is not a bit selfish is he. It has not diminished any since he came here.

    I would like that lady and you to keep on good terms. They are the class that have the influence. I would like to know if her daughter is married. If not and she a nice girl, why not see how she would suite. There is nobody any better than you or has had a better education. Even she is a doctor's daughter. Because she has plenty of money, don't let that scare you. She might be a very fine girl. I don't want to see you an old bachelor.

    I had a letter from Annie Craven with quite a lot of news. She says the carmen's strike is not settled yet.… She says everything is topsy turvy or unsettled there and they have had an awful hard winter. Gornals don't call on them. She had not seen them since last Easter year ago and she never sees Mrs. B. Jim Gornal saw Daisy and he said they were going to move to Jeff [Jefferson City] in the Spring. They are just the same old jealous outfit. Miserable class of people. Mrs. Washington has got her teeth out. Her brother Will Craven is dead. She wanted us to visit the family.…

    Your loving Mother
