  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/04/1944

    Well here it is sunny and hot, we came in 4 hours late, after making up another hour by a fine burst of speed. It was 4:30 when I arrived here. Mr. Wright of Palatka, whose little boy (14) I operated 4 years ago for a pineal tumor, met me and carried baggage and all so that I could play golf this afternoon. He still owes me on the bill, so I got this out of him. But it was too late as the Sunday afternoon nap was substituted. I was awakened at 6 o’clock by the booming of cannons - only the thunder of a lovely spring shower and it is so beautiful and calm and green after.

    Ray told me you had trouble starting the car - flooding? But when he found me, you had gone. Met Dr. Bruce Gill and his ten doctor friends and wives. You recall meeting him at Mrs.Garrett’s party. I suggested their coming here and they like it. If you were only here it would be lovelier, but you can’t be young and have a budding family and this too. Your lot may be the better after all? Compensations! If Margaret could be such! I want many more 100s from her and Mary, too. I wish I could see more of her prowess in basketball - those vicious plunges!

    Hope Helen is back with you soon. There were no hiatuses in my wardrobe - all was perfect. The sunburn begins tomorrow.

    Love and kisses to all my sweethearts.
