  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/03/1941

    Am awaiting my delayed letter to tell me that my first sweetheart is better. Was distressed that the neck was paining now, but a little sunshine arrived with great improvement in the leg. But it shouldn’t be much longer - if only you hadn’t switched doctors in midstream.

    Happy that the little angel is well again. I tossed little Tommy up in the air and down on the couch like I do the angel. He was frightened and began to cry. He’s nearly five. He asked his mother if I did that to my little girl.

    Have a good face burn - all red and one day’s body burn. Until today, which is cloudy and a little raw, the weather has been fine or sunny. Played golf twice and again this afternoon with Mr. Swift. Expect to fish tomorrow if the weather improves. One of the men has told me that Mrs. Chadwick was having bladder trouble. I called her and she said she was OK. Wanted to send the car down for me, but I told her I’ve been so engaged that it wouldn’t be possible.

    Dr. Greene has gone to Atlanta to see his friend Rickenbacker of the airplane accident. Mrs. Greene said she is still looking for a house for you. He is much improved, but still has his angina attacks.

    Am enjoying “The Star Gazer” very much. Am anxious to hear the result of Walter’s biology test and to know about his knee. You didn’t tell me that Mary and Kitty weren’t quarreling, so I assume they are not. I should be very happy if that were true. Had dinner last night with Bob Harris and wife. Went to Joe’s, the famous stone crab place. Hoover goes there every night. However, I preferred steak. The most delicious coleslaw I ever ate. It is famous too and often sent to New York with the crabs by airplane. The season is now at its peak. 41 new hotels built this year. If they can keep filled one month, the investment pays. Firestone, whose daughter I saw in Washington, is here now. Tell me you are better. Will be at Ponte Vedra Wednesday.

    Love and Kisses to my good and bad angels.
