					<l>United States Senate</l>
					<l>Washington</l>
					<l>Jan. 19, 1939.</l>
					<l>My Dear Mother:</l>
					<l>The debate is running at high</l>
					<l>tide against confirmation of</l>
					<l>Mr. Hopkins for Sec. of Commerce-</l>
					<l>They referred to my amendment</l>
					<l>of last year that failed by</l>
					<l>a small majority, you will</l>
					<l>see it in tomorrow&apos;s Record.</l>
					<l>Mildred has a string</l>
					<l>of old Vermont sleigh bells</l>
					<l>presented to her by Father</l>
					<l>O&apos;Donnell of St. Raphaels.</l>
					<l>Church in Poultney, VT.</l>
					<l>Wasn&apos;t that lovely?  He is</l>
					<l>one of our dear friends.</l>
					<l>I am feeling all right</l>

					<l>today.  Nothing but good</l>
					<l>reaction to the removal of</l>
					<l>the tooth.  Mildred is better</l>
					<l>and sitting in the gallery.</l>
					<l>There is snow on the ground</l>
					<l>here.  I believe we have had</l>
					<l>more snow than you have.</l>
					<l>We will be guests of</l>
					<l>the President at dinner at</l>
					<l>the White House tonight.</l>
					<l>Best love,</l>
					<l>Warren</l>
