United States Senate
Washington
April 7, 1936
My Dear Mother:
We are in the impeachment
trial of Judge Ritter of Florida.
Sitting as a court of 96
judges for hours without
end is difficult.
It is especially hard
for trial lawyers like
myself to keep still
when the conduct of the
trial seems inexpert and
pointless. 


I am listening with my 
ears but not giving
any earful attention
just now because
the details are not 
relevant.
Interrupted here-
I just want to say
that I am thinking
of you and sending
my love-
Warren
