United States Senate
Washington, D.C.
June 17, 1940.
My Dear Mother:
Your birthday. I hope
you are well and happy.
I had lunch at a Democratic
party this noon (only 2
Republican Sen. McNary and
myself present). It was in
honor of Count de Chambrun
great grandson of Lafayette.
He escaped from France,
came to America on a
trans-Atlantic Clipper.
His story of the war in which
he served in the Maginot Line
as a Captain is a sad
but interesting story.
No doubt the Fifth
[ ] was at work
in France as well as
elsewhere.
France has surrendered
but he thinks England
can lick Hilter yet-
Best love,
Warren
