  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 01/29/1928

    It’s getting harder and harder to leave my happy wife whom I love more and more -- my happiness and joy of living. It’s a cold day, too - and last night the deep snow was left behind halfway to Harrisburg. We were one hour late leaving Baltimore. I had the diner all to myself. They haven’t been able to make any time up so far, but they are straining every effort in the last stretch to save the rebate of extra fare which happens when we have cars. There are three sections of them now and we are the last.

    Wasn’t the big boy cute last night when he greeted his daddy with his boundless enthusiasm? I can appreciate Pierson’s view better now when he said it made him glow when his boy put his arms around him and called him Daddy. Soon Mary Ellen will be doing it, too. Such a little dear isn’t she? I would like to be holding her now and see those great dimples deepen with her smiles when tossed in the air and I listen to her bedtime story in competition with the radio. And not least by any means to kiss my little girly and hold her close for a long time. Besides, she needs it to thrive.

    Was looking for my boy’s picture today, but can’t find it. Thanks for Mary Ellen’s. We should soon be getting off at St. Louis and on to the Meteor for - ask Walter where! Kiss my great triumvirate and the little girl who is responsible for them all - at every occasion - from their loving Daddy
