  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 11/29/1932

    This great railroad has betrayed me badly. Here we are three hours late and my allowance in St. Louis for the Columbia train was only 35 min. - ample, I thought, when my head hit the end of the berth and the train stopped with a bang. The engine had broken down. Have been scanning the official railway guide this morning for possibility of reaching Columbia tomorrow morning, but the only possibility seems to be to get up at 3 A.M. It’s cold this morning and the ground is covered with snow, but it is bright and clear.

    Weren’t the little girls cute at the train? Mary Ellen just cuddled up in my arms on the way to the station and Kitty couldn’t sit still. Remember when Mary Ellen stepped down from the garage to the pavement with such abandon and was so “careless about it”? I got a new slant on Kitty Lou yesterday. She was very timid about going into the A & P store alone to buy her “lollypops”.

    I hope my little girl is recovering and will forget. I know she will forgive her big boy. Should soon be able to take care of her when the other boy goes away. Tell him his daddy is always thinking about him and his progress in school.

    Hope you have a good time at the show. Just imagine I am always alongside and holding your hand. In lieu of this opportunity, I am sending a lot of silent kisses and some also for the little rascals and a big boy.

    With love from Daddy x x x x x x x
