Mr. WT Waggoner
Forth Worth, Texas
Dear Mr. Waggoner, -
Very sorry to hear that you have been ill but am glad to know that you are on the mend. Please take good care of yourself. I am sure you are in the hands of a good doctor. I was much pleased with Dr. Johnston and while he may be the best doctor in the world he may need some cooperation from the patient - which I am sure, when all is said and done, you will give him.
I note what you say about feeling doubtful about going to the Kentucky Derby, but I want you to keep your mind open on the subject and let such things as the weather, the way in which the horses are training, etc. be some of the deciding factors. If you go I shall surely meet your there, andif you dont, I may not get there myself.
Your decision about not turning the horses over to Burch is perfectly all right because I had not told anyone about it. As you know, I made the suggestion purely from the standpoint of attempting to offer something of aid in an emergency, and with the idea that if the trial proved satisfactory and you wanted to make a change in the future you would have something to go on. But it seems to me that two trainers ought to be able to take care of your horses. McElroy, while young, should improve, and I think you are going to get real pleasure and results with Mr. Vestal. What counts most is the fact that you seem to be well satisfied and happy with your present set-up.
I am still plugging away every chance I get to locate that hospital at Arlington. Cant tell what these politicians are going to do up here but we are still in the running.
At your convenience drop me a line and let me know how you are. I hope this finds you much improved, and with all good wishes believe me as ever
Your friend,
Cary T. Grayson
