  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 07/18/1944

    It is very lonesome without my girls - and quiet, too. Fagie agrees. He spends most of the time with Paul and comes home to sleep. He is at my heels everywhere I go; and he looks sad. The morning when I let him out and went to the front of the yard (in my abbreviated costume with one long and one short leg), the nemesis of Fagie was running up the sidewalk with his escort. Fagie did not deign to consult with him, even though the superior dog was not on the leash.

    Walter did not return home on his way back. I presume he made it all right. Glad to know you are there and having a good time. Helen was very glad to take care of me for breakfast and Sundays, but she said you made arrangements with Polly and she is afraid to hurt Polly’s feelings and tell her she will do it. But I guess it will work one way or another. Polly does very well and I don’t have to beg for beer - and I can listen to Bill Dyer.

    The salmon party turned out to be quite formidable. Howard Smiths, Blalocks and Barkers and the stag. The best part was after dinner: We danced until 2 AM and I slept until Monday morning (except for golf). What a night, and a hot one! It rained Sunday night and has been cool ever since: Looks like more rain now.

    Take good care of my girls and have a good time. Do you miss Daddy?

    Love and Kisses, Daddy
