GC: You will have before you the bodies and enquiring minds
of [
578], present in this room, and [
1003], of ..., Va., who
seek information, advice and guidance as to their material
and physical welfare. You will consider especially their
desire for a home, and the following possibilities:
a. Build a house, plans, of which I hold in my hand, on the
lot in Winona. b. Buy the house on Cottage Toll Road which
we first considered, before buying the lot in Winona.
c. Rent; if so, in what section? d. Stay where we are now
living [We are now living with my parents [
413] and [
289]];
if so, what is the best financial arrangement, board or
paying half the expenses? Please give which of these moves
would be advisable in the present, considering [
1003]'s
salary of $44 a week, and the present world conditions. You
will then answer the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the bodies, the enquiring minds, [
578] and
[
1003]; the conditions, the circumstances, world conditions,
and the problems.
In considering all circumstances, many phases of that which
appears in the offing, the desires, the problems, should be
taken into consideration.
As we find, in some manners the separation from the present
environs and surroundings would be most satisfactory,
especially when considering the problems of [
1958], [Baby
daughter]. Yet, when there are the considerations as to the
needs of both of these with whom there are the problems, and
the surroundings in the home, it becomes a problem of a
different sort or nature.
Then, - with the variations that are to arise in the
circumstance, in the conditions in general, - as we find it
would be the more plausible and practical - for the next two
years - to remain in the present environ, all things
considered. But pay the board, and not consider the
questions of half expense or the like. Not that there is to
be the independence that some might consider would be, if the
considerations of boarding were taken on purely a practical
basis. For these, as we find, are not in some respects the
same nature as would be considered in such circumstance.
Put away each month a specified amount toward the home, the
lot; and when there IS the selection, we will find it will
not be in either of the places considered in the present.
[True. They decided on a home in early '43 in another
location entirely.]
Ready for questions.
(Q) Would it be wise to sell the lot in Winona?
(A) Hold the lot for one year, then sell.
(Q) If the opportunity is offered [
1003] would it be wise
for him to go into the Navy Yard or stay where he is?
(A) That would depend upon the kind of agreement that might
be made with the work in Navy Yard; for this, of course, will
be only temporary, unless there ARE those agreements that it
is to last for such and such a period.
(Q) According to his ability in his line of work, is he
making the salary he should?
(A) This, of course, is dependent upon self's OWN
consideration. But use that which is had, and use the
abilities for advancements.
(Q) Regarding [
578]'s physical condition: Would it be wise
to have the tonsils removed by Dr. Richardson through finger
surgery, or Dr. A. D. Morgan?
(A) The finger surgery is more sure. While it requires a
little longer, and the expense will be a little more, we find
that there will be less disturbances and better conditions in
the final results. For, too many shocks to the nervous
system will be required through the operative measures with
knife; and these are in very poor condition for operative
measures of that nature!
(Q) After removal of tonsils, would the treatments Dr.
Richardson gives for ears correct the deafness?
(A) Greater portion of it should be corrected in the
treatments indicated by the removal of tonsils through finger
surgery. Then, only one and another partial treatment should
make normalcy in the hearing.
(Q) Would it be well to have the glasses changed?
(A) We would not change these until after there has been the
completing of the treatments for the throat and tonsils.
(Q) Is there any preparation necessary for this finger
surgery to be done?
(A) Begin, and do it whenever it is the most convenient!
The preparations are to first remove the tonsils, and the
effect that is created, and give sufficient TIME before the
finger surgery to the Eustachian tubes. [
10/10/41 She had
tonsils removed at Sarah Leigh Hospital by Dr. A. D. Morgan
to whom Dr. M. L. Richardson referred her after his
osteopathic trs.]
(Q) Is there any advice or suggestion as to the general
health of both [
578] and [
1003]?
(A) As we find, with the GENERAL precautions that have been
indicated for each, there should be kept - under nominal or
normal conditions - a very good health for each.
(Q) Is [
1958] developing in a normal manner?
(A) Developing near to normal manner. We would not alter
conditions in the present.
(Q) Any other advice or counsel at this time?
(A) Again considering those problems of the home, the
preparations for the establishing of same:- As has been
indicated here, there is being taken into consideration
others - more than of self. Do not hold, or have the
attitudes of making a sacrifice, or of "playing" at being a
helpfulness to others at the expense of self. Rather use the
opportunity in and during the period indicated to make that
ASSURANCE in the establishing of the home as the better
proposition. Make DEFINITE plans for a definite period.
This will be more satisfactory than the involvement, and
those conditions in many ways in the present home and environ
that are to develop during the next two and a half years.
We are through for the present.
