United States Senate
Washington
March 9, 1937.
My Dear Mother:
I am listening to the debate
on the Pure Food and Drug Bill
but can write you my love
without interrupting anything
very important this moment.
We will start hearings in the
Judiciary Committee in the
Court Bill tomorrow.
Republicans have held their
fine and kept their powder
dry in order to not embarrass
or make difficult the 
opposition in the ranks
of the Democrats.  Possibly


the hearings will justify
more often opposition by
Republicans before long.
It is like sitting on a
safety value!
I go into sub-committee
on the Guffey Coal Bill
this afternoon
Best love,
Warren
