  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 03/08/1943

    A week has gone and I feel and look (I think) like a different person. The winters seem to get me down.

    Sorry to hear the angel has whooping cough. It must be pretty well over now – and pretty light compared to the others. Have just received her second letter - what a great little thing she is!

    The weather has been nice until today. It was dull and cold, but got nice in the afternoon. However, I took the afternoon off and took my usual siesta. This morning I walked up to Dr. Brown’s cottage and had a nice hour of conversation with him. One doesn’t have to play bridge to be entertained. With him the conversation just rolls along and all so keenly interesting. He is quite wonderful with his infirmity. He can scarcely see enough with one good eye to get around the house. But he is so cheerful and happy. Mrs. Garrett (Robert?) is here by herself and didn’t I get sucked in for a golf game with her tomorrow – and Mr. Browne. I am still not too skillful with the ladies. Phoned the Jelks’ today to come over some time with the Gammons.

    Think the cold is probably not the whooping cough - though it may be. At any rate, it’s loosing its virility and have fewer and less severe paroxysms. It’s more like the annual spasmodic affair I’ve had for past four years. Wish I had the sports coat! Really forgot what such a thing was. You can send me a 44 if you wish.

    Love and kisses to all my angels,

    Daddy x x x x
