  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 04/11/1944

    A week has passed - all too quickly. I wish you were here with me – also the absentees. Yesterday it rained all day and hard, but today the sun is creeping out. Last night the lights went out just after supper, so no bridge and 12 hours sleep.

    I have been entertaining a very nice lady - Mrs. Gay - on: “is act one”, “the worms” and other “dumb jokes.” She likes them!

    You told me the angel came home with a headache - twice, or was it only once? I hope it was just a part of her cold, but I was a little worried.

    The robins are around and are probably on the way to Baltimore. The mockingbirds are just singing away. Went to Mr. Rogers’ cocktail party yesterday. Am getting a good sunburn. The paper says it was 18 in Baltimore yesterday - too bad. You didn’t tell me the verdict on Helen. I hate to see you doing all the work, but you are a good sport about it. Did Walter get down to the dance? And is Mary having too good a time? Perhaps Margy had better come down to recuperate. Is her arithmetic improved? I haven’t had a letter from either of them – not even Fagie. Mary used to write me frequently. The Philadelphia crowd is beginning to break up. They have been lots of fun. Ed Jelks and the Gammons are coming over next week. It has been very quiet with no medical calls.

    Kiss my three little girls and take good care of them.
