Jan. 10, '40.
My Dear Mother:
I did not write you
yesterday.  The day was
so broken by unexpect-
ed events that I did
not do so.
I am glad to have
your letter expressing
your approbation


of our attitude toward
the Jackson Dinner.
Now, Mildred & I have
accepted with pleasure
a dinner invitation to
Senator Barkley's.
(Leader of the Majority- Ros
knows him.) This will
be as democratic as
can be but it will
not commit us to
any partisan position.
I am so glad that
Ros & Katha are so
good to you.  It is


characteristic of them.  I
know they enjoy their
loving service for you.
It is fine to know
that Miss Lennah will
also room with you.
I  have accepted an
invitation to speak at
Louisville, Ky. Feb. 10
at a Lincoln Day Dinner.
Congress is moving
forward slowly.
Best love from Mildred
& me to you & Katha
& Ros.
Warren
