United States Senate
WASHINGTON, D. C.
January 4, 1940
My dear Mother:
Roswell's welcome letter of the second tells
us about your gradual improvement.
I want to add my encouragement to the idea
of your having a companion and helper in the
house with you. I presume that you do not
recognize any need for this, and probably you
are correct so far as your own physical cond-
tion is concerned. But for the rest of us
it is extremely important. I know you realize
that we need, more than you do, help of this
kind.
I thought the President's speech yesterday
was the poorest one he has made.
I was glad that I was not available to the
press when they were trying to get an ex-
pression out of me.
Love from Mildred and me.
Your devoted
Warren
Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin,
St. Albans,
Vermont.
