United States Senate
Washington
Aug. 5, 1940.
My Dear Mother:
I was here on time for my
meeting of Military Affairs
Commitee. However, this is
the circuitous route I had to
take:
1. Burlington to Rockingham Vt.
There I made a speech at
4-5 in the afternoon;
2. Rockingham to Concord, N.H.
3. At 7.20 P.M. I took plane
Concord to Boston:
4. At Boston took a different plane
to New York;
5. At New York took different plane
to Washington- So my day was
a long one-
This morning the Committee
voted favorably 13 to 3 to
report the conscription bill.
Now we are debating the
National Guard bill.
It was great to see you
with the grandchildren.
Best love,
Warren
