					<l>My Dear Mother:</l>
					<l>I did not write you</l>
					<l>yesterday.  The day was</l>
					<l>so broken by unexpect-</l>
					<l>ed events that I did</l>
					<l>not do so.</l>
					<l>I am glad to have</l>

					<l>of our attitude toward</l>
					<l>the Jackson Dinner.</l>

					<l>accepted with pleasure</l>
					<l>a dinner invitation to</l>
					<l>Senator Barkley&apos;s.</l>

					<l>be as democratic as</l>
					<l>can be but it will</l>
					<l>not commit us to</l>
					<l>any partisan position.</l>
					<l>I am so glad that</l>
					<l>Ros &amp; Katha are so</l>
					<l>good to you.  It is</l>

					<l>It is fine to know</l>

					<l>I  have accepted an</l>

					<l>Louisville, Ky. Feb. 10</l>
