PRE-WAR LETTERS
Letterhead: The California Limited ~ Santa Fe ~ enroute ~ Oak Park
July 16, 1917
Dear little Joan -
Your letters and postal came today and we were very happy to hear from you & to know that you are having a nice time. We leave for home tomorrow morning - by "home" I mean Morrison's Lake.
Am glad the "cammah" is painted and hope Tom Ball has the engine in running.

It is raining here today & is quite chilly for July. Mamma could not find Theresa's note and is bringing the little "box" down to  Theresa. Hulbert, Jack and Mamma join me in sending you lots of love & kisses with 33 1/2 hugs. Give our love to Grandma, Aunt Jessie, Uncle Roy, Uncle Will, Margaret, Judson, Margorie, Edith and Theresa and be sure that you kiss Tarzan for me. Two collies called on us today. One was "Black" and we think he came to look for Tarzan. He and Tarzan used to play together -- do you remember?

Well, my little daughter, we will see you tomorrow night but do not be disappointed if we are late as I may have tire trouble again. We didn't have any trouble coming home except that I got "lost" twice in Hammond. We reached home about 5:40 P.M.
With lots of love,
Papa

My dear little daughter -
I have a few minutes before next drill period so I though I would write you, Mamma & the boys; but as I will have time for but one letter this must be for all of you.
They called us out at ten last night and instructed us in night operations across country. We got back at 12:15 am. All pretty tired as we had had bayonet fighting & hand grenade throwing in the after noon -- the former very strenous.
I think we have trench work this afternoon; but am not sure.
I hope you had a pleasant trip home

Well, we will have you all home together again next Friday.  In the meantime I think I shall have to put some rocks on the roof to hold it on the house when you are all here once more.

Dear Little Girlie -
Well, here goes! Not a thing to say either -- except; Pete and the pigs are back; little Jack is laid up today with a bad tonsil, the doctor was out this morning and thinks it will be but a day or too before he is all right again.

We received your nice long letter a few minutes ago. Too bad about Pep. I suppose poor Sister Consolata is all broken up. We are very sorry for we have heard so much about Pep that we felt we knew him intimately even though we never saw him.
You sent quite a list and Papa is going to day to fill it down town this afternoon and as it is such a long list I shall have to stop writing and run along or I shall not be back in time for breakfast. Love and love & love,
Papa


LETTERHEAD: Edgar Rice Burroughs ~ Tarzana, California
August 20, 1934
Dear Joan,
Hulbert tells me that you and Mike are doing well and I am glad to know this.
He also says that Mike cries most of the time but that the **** saves the situation.
Am enclosing a couple of clippings I thought you would like to have.
There is nothing exciting going on. I am working hard interfering with Hulbert's and Ralph's work. I imagine they breathe a sigh of relief when I take myself elsewhere.
Am going over this afternoon to watch Jim Granger test his new ship that he is to fly in the London-Melbourne race in October.
All my love, my dear,
Papa
(Side note: Jim Granger died in same ship. Brakes locked & he crashed on the October 3rd.)


LETTERHEAD: MATSON LINE ~ San Francisco ~ Los Angeles ~ Hawaii ~ At sea ~ SS Lurline
Sunday, April 7, 1935
Dear Joan, Hulbert & Jack.

Nothing but rain and fog since we sighted San Francisco yesterday morning. It is now 3:15 pm. Fog horn going all night. Not very warm as yet. But we are having a good time.

Were invited to sit at Captain's table, and had our first meal there this noon. Have had our breakfasts on our own lanai (front stoop to you).

Met for of the six other guests at the Captain's table, a Mr. & Mrs. Barrett and their friends, Mrs. Mecchi and Mrs. Bouchignamir (or something). The other two will be Janet McDonald and her mother. Dr. Kurtz? and his friend visited us this morning. We were going to play tennis this afternoon but it rained. The pool has not been filled yet. This is a lovely ship and a restful trip.

April 8
Pretty rough yesterday. We did not go down to dinner although neither of us was actually sick. We played safe, for it is a long way from E deck, where the dining room is, to A deck and our cabin.
Went down to breakfast and met Captain Berndstrom for the first time. He is very pleasant.

We played tennis deck twice today. It is a lot of fun. Like tennis except that the court is smaller, the racket's solid like ping pong rackets, and the balls heavier than tennis balls.
We play with Carl Cooper?, a friend of Dr. Kurtz?, and a chap named Carter Galt? who lives in Honolulu and is descended from one of the original Missionary families.
April 9
Last night the Captain gave a beautiful birthday, dinner in honor of Mrs. Buchagnimi, who sits at his table. Lovely dessert, a present for Mrs. Buchagnimi, a birthday cake, a birthday cake, ice cream mould into two good sized miatures of the Lurline, and a decoration carved from a solid block of ice -- a lion; very well done and very striking -- about the size of Jack's tiger, perhaps larger. Jeannette MacDonald and her mother came down for the first time.

April 10
Played deck tennis in the morning and contact in the afternoon. There are horse races every morning at 11, movies at 8:30 pm and dancing afterward. Plenty to do. The sun came out for a while yesterday, and last evening was clear; but it is overcast again this morning (7:30 am).
Tomorrow we dock about 9. Shall mail this on the ship.
Lots of love to you all,

Papa

Darling Joan:
Another paving stone for Hell    I wanted to send valentines to Joan II and Mike, and here it is Valentine's Day and nothing done. What a mind! If I ever get a spare hour in town we'll. have lunch together again. I am pretty sure I can make it next Tuesday. Will you get hold of the boys and ask them!    We can meet at The Berries at 1 o'clock. If that is not a good hour for you, telephone Ralph, or drop me a line addressed to Tarzana.   If, for any reason, you or the boys can't make it next Tuesday, let me know in the same way. I won't have to know until I reach the office Tuesday morning. I hope you are all well and that none of you drowned. Didn't it rain!   We were up Wednesday and drove back Thursday; and it rained nearly all the time, although it was perfectly clear here when we left and was not raining when we got back.    I'll be glad when it warms up here. The doctor told me sun baths would be good for me, but I've had only one since I got back. I'm getting back into shape slowly. I can see much physical improvement and some mental. I have been absorbing for so many years that my thinking apparatus was affected, and it never was any too good.   The doctor says it will come back 100%.  I hope he is right. At 100% I may even have sense enough to come in out of the rain - who knows! Lots of love to you all.   Am looking forward to seeing you Tuesday. I'd like to have Jim come, if he cares to.
Always,
Papa

Dear Joan:
Am glad you like BACK TO THE STONE AGE, and that you think CARSON OF VENUS starts out well. I hoped that you children would read it when I sent it over.

I don't know what sort of reaction Lesser is going to get from Eleanor Holm.   He tells me that he took the matter up with the Motion Picture Producers Association, or whatever they call it, and with the P.T.A., and that their reaction was favorable.

Wish I might see you oftener.
With lots of love, I am,

Dear Joan:
I was sorry to learn from your letter that Mike has mumps. I certainly hope that the rest of you don't contract them.

In the matter of the Tarzan Clan music. Ralph now vaguely recollects that it was in a large envelope with Schermer's name on it and that it might have been in the Spanish cabinet that stood in my office, and which your Mother came over and took, with some other things, while I was away. We thought it barely possible that the contents of the cabinet might not have been removed and that the music is still in it.

I wonder if you would be good enough to look the next time you are at Bel-Air, and see if you can find it. I also recollect that there were quite a number of my photographs in this drawer, and they may still be there. If they are, will you return them to me.
With love,
Yours,

June 12 1940
My darling:

Your letter of the let came to-day just after I had mailed a "Dear Children" letter to Jane in acknowledgment of one from her, so as I said all in that letter, which you will see, I haven't much news left for you.

I was tickled to death to learn how quickly the children learned to swim and dive.  It is wonderful that they have this opportunity.  I'll bet Hulbert gets a big kick out of instructing such apt pupils.   I have been sixty-four years trying to learn, and up to now have arrived nowhere.   I go in the ocean with the children and jump up and down as the rollers come in.  I'm too damned scared to swim out.  I don't know why.  Caryl Lee has been poisoned by Portugese Men-o-War only twice so far, and a next door neighbor of ours caught only five sharks in his net day before yesterday practically in front of our house.

Yes  I keep a diary - just a notation of happenings without comments or philosophizing.  It helps me remember the names of people I meet.  The trouble is that I usually can't remember them over night, and so don't get them all in my diary.  There are many "Met Commander ______"    "Mr and Mrs ——————— were also there."   Quite informative.

Am glad that you have had some of the work you like and that Jim is doing so well.  Shall look forward to seeing Spring Parade and Boys From Syracuse. Hope you can make Mike stick to the piano until he is sufficiently proficient to give pleasure to himself and others all the rest of his life.  I have always regretted that I could not play the piano.  My fingers are too damn big - one of them would slop over three keys.  Otherwise, I am quite musical.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your letter.  Please give Joanne and Mike a lot of love from me.  I can't get used to "Joanne". but I think it was a sensible change; and it is a very pretty name.

Wish you could meet the Hallidays.  They are lovely people, and they seem to like us.  They are always dropping in or calling us up to come over there.  Jack is out now with our children and his little Laddie to take them swimming down at Lanikai Beach with some other children he wanted our to meet.   I first saw him in Tovarish while Florence and I were in New York several years ago; then Carl Haerle wrote me at Beverly Hills that Halliday was coming to Hollywood to make a picture and asked me to phone him.  We arranged little party with people we thought he'd like, and then phoned that he had to leave at once.  After we got here the Haerles invited us to a dinner to meet the Hallidays.  We went through a blinding rain around Koko Head way and got there, but the Hallidays tried to come over the Pali and couldn't make it; but a few days later they phoned us and asked us to lunch; so we finally met. He is a very interesting man who has been everywhere and knows everybody.  She is equally as nice, a former actress with many anecdotes.

Well, Dear, it has been a lot of fun gossiping with you; and, speaking of gossip, there was plenty of it after the parties on which we met Luella Parsons and Harry Martin.  I have known Martin since the early days of the old Breakfast Club and Luella for two or three years.  I must say that when she has mentioned me in her column she has always been very kind.  I can be no less. Lots of love to you all, or, in other words,
Aloha nui nui!

Papa

LETTER TO LIFE-LONG FRIEND BERT WESTON


 

.

 
Lanikai, Oahu, T.H.
June 27 1940

Dear Bert:
I liked the editorial in the WORLD-HERALD. If we only knew what is the best course. History, especially recent history, should have taught us that those who fight a purely defensive war lose that war. France, with the "best army in the world" commanded by the "world's greatest soldier" sat on her fanny until Hitler was ready to blitzkrieg her; then she folded. I am afraid that England, now forced to fight a defensive war, may also fold.

What should we do? We don't want to fight an offensive war, but we should prepare ourselves to do so. We should prepare as though we intended to conquer the world, but we should confine our operations the Western Hemisphere. If anyone says "Boo!" to us over here, we would land on him with both feet and conquer him. I mean Mexico, Equador, Bolivia, or any other Western Hemisphere country that gets out of line. If we discover that fifth column infiltration has made any country a menace to us, we shouldn't stand on ceremony or international law or ethics -- we should just wipe that country off the face of the earth. That is what Hitler does; that is what Stalin does; that is what the hod-carrier in Rome does. That is the order of the international day; the only difference being that they don't have any legitimate excuse for what they do.

But first we should liquidate the Communists, Fascists, and Nazis in this country. Charity should begin at home. Unfortunately that is difficult to do. It is one of the weaknesses of Democracy, which gives aid and comfort to its enemies. The answer to that lies in an unselfish, patriotic Executive and Congress, or -- a Dictator.

An unselfish, patriotic Executive and Congress are, like the dodo and the three toed Sloth, extinct animals; which brings us right to the crux of the matter -- the cause of the failure of Democracy on the continent of Europe and the cause of the eventual failure of Democracy in the United States of America -- the goddam politicians.

The best and sanest form of government I can imagine would be one run by General Motors or Standard Oil, and so I am praying that Wendel Wilkie will be nominated by the Republican Party and elected on November.

I am sick of politicians. I am fed up on politicians. I vomit at baby kissing, back slapping, and my friends, I am ashamed that I am compelled to feel that every pronouncement and every act of our Chief Executive is dictated by its vote getting effect upon the electorate. I may be doing him a wrong. I hope that I am, but I am afraid that I am not.

All of which brings us back in a vicious circle to the question, "What should we do?"

The answer will probably be: "Nothing."

Who said anyone paid 1900 a month for  my house? There ain't thatthat much money. I'm netting a paltry $250, out of which I have to pay $125 for this house. Florence will not admit that it is a house, but it shelters us.

If Featherstone was only 52, he must have gone to Orchard Lake when he was six.

I know how you feel about your air conditioning plant. It reminds me of my $5000 steam heating plant at Tarzana. The damn thing never did work; and though the good friend from whom I purchased it lived for several years, he did nothing about it.

You're goddam right, the horse-and-buggy days were the best! What we didn't know about we didn't miss. We didn't have Brain Trusters, New Deals, Hitlers, Stalins, Mussolinis, Jim Farley, or FDR. "We didn't know when we were well off. We got along very well with one horse open sleights, Annie Rooney, Anna Held, E.H. Sothern, Lillian Russell, Charles Dana Gibson, Graustark, and Jerome K. Jerrome." Twenty-five miles an hour was too fast and Western Union was fast enough.

The weather here is delightful. Today I went to the weekly luncheon of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and made a speech. I have spoken before the Hawaiian Civic Association, and mad two radio appearances. I know of two more civic organizations who are just dying to hear me; and I am, absolutely, the world's lousiest public speaker. I'll say this much for Hawaiians: they are gluttons for punishment

They had the police band here today -- all full blood Hawaiians in full police regalia with guns. One chap did a couple of hulas, and he was a wow. He would go great in New York. He is a traffic cop, and to see him wiggle his hips with that big six-gun wobbling around was sump'n.

Well, give my best to Margaret, the boys, their wives, and all the little Westons to the ninth and tenth generations.

Yours, Ed

My Dear Children:

June 17, 1940Thanks a lot for your Father's Day radiogram.  It was very sweet of you to think of me.   It was telephoned to me yesterday afternoon shortly after I returned from a week-end fishing trip at Waianae, which I have marked with a red circle on one of the enclosed maps.

We fished all Saturday afternoon and got up before sunrise and fished all Sunday morning.  During all that time no one got a strike.  We were out in Dudley Lewis' 33' sampan hoping for a marlin or a broadbill.  There are terrific ground swells on that side of the island, and with a choppy sea the boat lunged and rolled constantly; so Jack Halliday got seasick and about two hours before we came in I followed his example.

I was wet and filthy and hot and sick, and I ain't never goin' fishin' no more.

We saw hundreds of porpoises, which played around the boat.  That was interesting.  A Portuguese along with us said to me, "There is an Eva."   I finally located it - a trim black bird faced with white - a Man-0'-War Bird.  Thirsting for knowledge, I asked how they spelled Eva, knowing full well that it wouldn't be Eva at all; and it isn't - it's Iwa.  If you will look southeast of Waianae you will see the town of Ewa.  This is pronounced eva.

I sent a map to one of you; Joan, I think.  The two enclosed are for the other branches of the family.

The Waianae district is as different from the rest of the island as Arizona is from northern California.  That side of the Waianae Range is as barren as Arizona mountains; the grass and weeds along the highway are burned and brown.  It rains there only a little and just during the winter months, whereas it rains five or six times a week on our side of the island.  The rains, brought by the northeast trades, are stopped by the Koolau and Waianae Ranges.

Again, thanks a million for the radiogram.
Aloha nui nui!

Papa

October 27 1940
My dear Children:

I just received a nice letter from Jack. dated Oct 16th; and I was pained to note how he is flinging his money about and setting a bad example to the purveyors of foodstuffs by that offer of his of 75 cents for a cake which, including labor, couldn't have cost more than $2.50. Both he and Jane are wildly extravagant that way.

It is to be hoped, for the sake of the neighbors, that Hully has succeeded in getting rid of his puppies. I hope he doesn't have any more - he is getting too old. I wish. when his are gone, that he would come over here and auction off all the dogs in our neighbor-hood; also several of the radios, and most of the children.

The people here are dog crazy. We were at a dinner for twelve or fourteen last night at the Pfluegers. and their two big cows of German police dogs were wherever we were - on the lanai, in the living room. in the dining room; and the women were all in evening gowns. Some other friends are keeping Jane Shattuck's three dogs - two enormous Danes and a police dog. The other day one of the Danes started to eat Caryl Lee; later on, I inadvertently failed to latch the front gate and they all got out and ran down a boulevard almost comparable to Sunset - and it was on a Sunday afternoon, too; so three of us had to go out and look for them. Unfortunately, we found them.

I remember Edith Thorpe and Tom Bonynge - at least I think I remember Edith.   Wasn't she the girl who told Jack about the facts of life one day?   Something tells  me that being married to Edith would be much like spending one's life on a Merry-go-round; but a very beautiful Merry-go-round.

It's funny how I always miss conscription in peace time. Jack says the last one was 80 years ago, so I just missed that; and I'm just a little too old for this one.

I'm enclosing a clipping to show you what my fellow citizens over here look like; the Samoan bus driver is not so bad.

I went to lunch the other day with Al Karasic, the fight promoter here - his other guests were three sports writers and Prince Ilaki Ibn Ali Hassan, the Persian Whirlwind, who wrestles for Al, Jarasic was a wrestler for seventeen years - and looks it, with cauliflower ears and all the other trimmings; but he is a very bright fellow and extremely witty. He is a cousin of Rubinoff, the violinist. Prince Ilaki is a highly intelligent man. and very goodlooking.  He is a lifelong Burroughs fan, and used to write me from San Francisco eight or nine years ago.  He told me his father owned 6000 goats in Persia  and that made him a prince.  He writes for the pulps, and has not had a rejection slip for years.

I like to meet people like these. Here's an entry of Oct 9th in my diary:  "God but it's hot.  Wrote 4000 words today."  Then Oct 10th: "Still hot," and Oct 11th: "Hotter."

I hired a new "janitor" the other day - Peter Duenas; he is in 10th grade at McKinley High School, near my office.  I asked him what nationality he was, because by looking at him I couldn't quite make out.  He said he was part Hawaiian, part Chinese, part Spanish, and part haole (haole, pronounced how' lee, means white man).  A friend of mine was telling me the other day, apropos of the above, that when he had asked a boy what nationality he was, the kid said, "Half Hawaiian and half soldier."   Peter comes once a week and cleans up the office, for which he gets 50.  As it takes him about 20 minutes. he is paid at the rate of $1.50 an hour.

Caryl Lee and I went to the circus the other day.  I paid $1.50 for two "reserved" seats, and we had to sit in the shavings down in front of the boxes, with the elephants nearly treading on us; but we had a swell time.  It was really a very good little three-ring circus.

My car is promised for Wednesday.  I have been without it since Sept 19th: but. thanks to Mickey Owen. I have had transportation - Ford. Did I tell you about the big centipede that crawled out of its upholstery while Florence was driving Caryl Lee home from the doctor's? Florence says that Caryl Lee went right straight up to the ceiling and she nearly climbed a telephone pole with the Ford.  The centipede crawled back into the upholstery, and Florence drove all the way home; then they "Flitted" it out and killed it.  I saw the thing; it was about six inches long.

Now I must go to work, but I have enjoyed this visit with you.  I can't tell you how much I miss the happy times we used to have together.

A great deal of love to you all.

Papa
