United States Senate

Feb, 7, 1940
My Dear Mother:
Had a letter from Chan
showing that he [is] about to
get rid of heavy splints
and get on with a sling
alone.  Poor fellow.
This morning I appeared
for Vermont in a hearing
in Civil Aeronautic Authority
This development of
communication is


[is] the most remarkable
event of our times.
The airmail has always
kept my interest in it
active.
We continue debate on
the appropriation for
Independent offices.
Carries more than a
billion dollars,
Best love,
Warren
