  • Walter E. Dandy Letter 04/24/1912

    89 Anson Street

    Barrow in Furness, England

    April 24, 1912

    Well My Dear Boy,

    …The letter you wrote on your birthday was along time coming but was fine when it got here. If you keep up that lick their is no doubt in my mind who will get Dr. Cushing's place.

    Well the Titanic disaster cast a great gloom over everything here. It almost unstrung my nerves to think of it. I am glad to see Congress investigate it. It looks to me as though Ismay was trying to place all responsibility on the captain and take none of it himself. Just the same way the Katy officials use to do, ensist on time being made, then censor you if trouble occured. Their will have to be some more new theories got up to make the traveling public believe they are safe and well protected in the hands of shipping companies.

    This reminds me of you exploding Dr. C.'s theories last year. Do you hear anymore about that?.… We still go out lots for walks, picking primroses and other flours. And sometimes we see nice locations where we think we could have a nice home. Then we think of awer boy being in America and awer money there and that changes everything.

    I supose you saw in your papers about Tom Mann the labor leader Socialist or Syndicalist being arrested for requesting the solders not to shoot in case of labor troubles. He is now on bail and I went to hear him speak at the town hall here on last Monday night. He is a good speaker but I don't think his method of aquiring Socialist goverment is as good as the regular Socialist way. If his address is published I will send it to you.…

    Your affectionate Father
