  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/06/1942

    The time is passing rapidly, but such weather I have never seen in Florida -- rain, wind, and cold. I’ve played golf three times and took a half hour sunbath, but the sun didn’t stay out more than a few minutes. All day today has rained and yesterday the wind was so strong all the airplanes were grounded. But am getting a lot of sleep.

    Several of the ladies were asking about you and Margaret. One of them remembered a story about Margaret who told her little girl that her daddy cut people’s heads open and she was frightened. Hope the weather is better with you. Dr. Gammon came over today and spent the afternoon playing bridge. Yesterday, we went to the Naval Base where Mrs. Winks’ brother is a flying cadet. The planes - it’s one of the three big Navy plane bases -- were zooming around the skies in a constant stream. There are 6000 flying cadets.

    Figured out a new operation the other night waiting for someone to rub my head to sleep. I miss you all very much. Was going to write you to come down with Mrs. Smith, but word has just come that they won’t come. Tell Al Blalock to come - the weather will be fine. Have only had one phone call. Please tell Mrs. Shauck to write Dr.Lyetly of Jacksonville and Mrs. Wright of Palatka that they can contact me here for a deposition.

    Love and kisses,

    Walterx x x x x x x x x
