My Dear Mother:
Short session of
Senate today.
Mildred is dressing
& I can write you-
We are going out to the
[ ] swimming pool
for a swim. Afterward
we go to Grasslands
Club as guests of
Sen. & Ms. Garey [Gerry?] for
dinner. It is just
the right temperature
today and very bright.
I am leaving an
interesting letter from
a descendant of Roswell
Mears brother copied
and sent to you-
Your wonder how I
feel about the neutrality
act raises a mixed
answer: I would
repeal the neutrality
act if we did not leave a
President like Roosevelt-
I dout [doubt] if I would do it
while he is the executive, but
the issue will not be so simple.
We will have a new act
proposed which will give
him more power than the
neutrality repeal would leave
him. So I shall probably
not vote for my iea but for
[for] the least objectionable bill-
Love from us both-
Warren
