					<l>United States Senate</l>
					<l>Washington</l>
					<l>Wednesday the 3rd</l>
					<l>My Dear Mother:</l>
					<l>Glad to get your letter.</l>
					<l>We expected Bob today but have</l>
					<l>just learned that he will not</l>
					<l>come until tomorrow.</l>
					<l>The debate on the neutrality</l>
					<l>bill is running strong. I am</l>
					<l>not on the Committee which</l>
					<l>considered it so I profess</l>
					<l>no special knowledge about</l>
					<l>the bill, however, I believe in</l>
					<l>maintaining our rights and</l>
					<l>our honor as a neutral</l>
				</lg>
			</p>

			<p>
				<lg>
					<l>and the bill looks to me</l>
					<l>much like running before</l>
					<l>we are attacked.</l>
					<l>Don&apos;t be surprised if I vote</l>
					<l>against it.  I am for</l>
					<l>peace and the bill looks</l>
					<l>like an invitation to war.</l>
					<l>Best love, </l>
					<l>Warren</l>
