  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 04/30/1912

    89 Anson Street

    Barrow in Furness, England

    April 30, 1912

    My Dear Son,

    Received your letter written on the 15th mailed on the 18th. A good while between writing and mailing wasn't it. Pa looked many a morning for the letter I suppose you were carrying with you.

    Well we were glad you are well and can get a little time to play ball. Glad the meals are a little better. I would rather hear of your getting heavier. You ought to get to 175 lbs or 180. I want to see you that heavy some day.

    I was glad to hear of Dr. Cushing treating you so well and giving you such fine operations to do. Did any others ever get work like he has been giving you. We would like to hear how those patients are getting along you operated on but you never tell us anything about them. I guess you are pretty sleepy and tired when you write, that accounts for it I suppose.…

    It would be fine if you got Cushing's position. He is surely making lots of money. Made as much in one week as Pa made in 10 years. I hope you will be able to gather it in like Cushing. Do you ever hear from Miss Stanley. I expect she will be feeling pretty blue if you never write to her.…

    We like the meetings here. If it was not for meetings I believe we would like America as well. We go every Sunday morning and evening through the week to the Hall.

    It is fine to hear the young men preaching. They were little boys when we left for America. They have open air meetings.…

    Your loving Mother
