Warren R. Austin Vermont United States Senate WASHINGTON, D. C. May 19, 1936 Dear Mother: I have just learned through Charlie Watson that a heavy frost occurred May 15th, and I wonder whether your garden is cleaned out. If there is anything I can do about it, please call on me. (Maybe we can help with a little New Deal boondoggling.) Yesterday was a memorable day. Both the Supreme Court of the United States and the Circuit Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia held invalid parts of the New Deal usurpation of legislative power and of the sovereignty of the several States. It seems to me that such denunciation as these great decisions imply should put an end to the injurious experiments of President Roosevelt and his professors. I go to New York tomorrow to speak at a luncheon of the Westchester County Women's Republican Club, at the Hotel Commodore. Best love from Mildred and me. Your affectionate Warren, Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin, 91 South Main Street, St. Albans, Vermont.
