  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 07/31/1943

    So happy to know that you are having such a good time. Dr. Nelson told me of the athletic prowess among members of my family - the younger ones! Helen and I, mostly the latter, have had three fine meals from that grand duck. Do tell Lou how much I appreciate it. And my medical service has been in absentia. And besides, at its best, I don’t think it is worth this duck.

    We have had lovely weather ever since you left, nice rains and quite cool. Went to Pine Valley Thursday with Dan Shaeffer - Al went along. Yesterday I motored to Bethesda to see Dr. Craig. Tonight I go to Rocky Mount, N.C. to see a patient. Have been very busy and many cases coming next week.

    Hope to get down Saturday. Tell Lou to meet the bus (personally of course) at Winchester unless notified otherwise. Tell him also to brief up on his game - also bridge – which I refuse to play.

    Slept 11 hours last night, even missing Bill Dyer. If you hear of anyone motoring down Saturday afternoon, from Baltimore or Washington, it would be better than the bus.

    Fagie is drooping, refuses to eat until he gets hungry enough. Margaret hasn’t written him! Walter’s (rather mine) tomatoes are ripening. Cantaloupes are delicious. Sending Walter’s letter. How does Mary act since she is sweet sixteen - two years ahead of Kitty now!

    With all my love and anticipation of seeing my four girls soon,

    Daddy x x x x x x x

    None from Fagie to Miss Margaret
