My dear Mother:
I enjoyed your letter so much, and I am grateful
to you for calling attention to the Memorial to
Senator Greene.
I have remitted to The Mess enger $5.00 from
Mildred and me which I assure you I am most happy
to contribute, and if they run short I will be
glad to add to it.
We are wasting a lot of time here making politi-
cal speeches, but I suppose that, from years of
experience, this procedure has been found neces-
sary. I strongly suspect however, that a new
batch of Senators with the right degree of
finesse and strength, could change this into a
more orderly body having some system that would
keep Senators on the issue before the Senate
until the business was transacted, and which
would also afford them a chance to make speeches
at a proper time.
We are both well and join in sending you love.
Your loving son,
Mrs. C.G.Austin,
91 South Main Street,
St. Albans, Vermont.
