February 8, 1937 My dear Mother: I am in great haste, but I must tell you how much I appreciate the encouragement of your letter of the 6th. We are in a storm center here this morn- ing. The President's obvious designs on the Supreme Court have aroused a storm which beats up from all sides. You know where I stand, and shall con- tinue to stand. Best love. Your affectionate son, Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin, St. Albans, Vermont.
