  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/28/1943

    Ponte Vedra again and at last. A perfectly beautiful day greeted me - a little chilly in the morning - the overcoat wouldn’t have been amiss! But nice and warm in the afternoon spent at golf. They couldn’t send my trunk until tomorrow, but an old patient - operated on 15 years ago, a taxi man in Jacksonville, met me and said he would get it out for me. Hence, the golf today. Train ride was very nice! 1 ½ hours late leaving Washington. The robins are out in force, the violets in bloom, dogwood coming out, mockingbirds singing.

    Played golf with a man named Sullivan who lived next door to Al Blalock in Jonesboro, Ga. Saw a new aircraft carrier going down the coast - it certainly was traveling fast. I apparently have caught Margaret’s cough. Although I slept the clock around, I was conscious of a dry barking cough all night and at times during the day. A little nasal discharge with it. She certainly passes along her treasures to her daddy. Tell her there aren’t any little children her age here. Met a dentist - Cummins - on the train who asked if I remembered the time Holly Smith’s dogs spoiled our golf game.

    Tell Walter I am expecting a big improvement in his work at school. And I want to see my little sweet Mary’s disposition where it used to be when it was so perfect. And Margaret, of course, to remain as is. Will write Kitty tomorrow.

    Love and kisses. Have Margaret’s handkerchief with all her money to be added to frequently, I hope,
