United States Senate Washington Feb. 8, 1940. My Dear Mother: It is a bright cold day.  I walked up & got filled with [ ]. Had an office full of visitors. Always glad to see Vermonters. It is refreshing to hear this statement of the same thing that I think- We continue debate on the appropriations for Independent offices.  Sen. Davis is now speaking.  He is discussing his colleague Sen. Duffy- Pennsylvania ought to go Repub- lican this year. We will have for Louisville tomorrow to return next Monday. Best love, Warren
