United States Senate COMMITTEE ON MILITARY AFFAIRS Burlington, Vermont Nov.7,1940 My dear Mother: I can resume my letter writing which I have missed as much as you have. The battle is over. I should not complain in view of the wonderful sup¬ port that Vermonters are giving me but I regret very much that Mr. Willkie was not elected and that a Republican House of Representatives was not elected. Now we have the acrobatic performance of balancing ourselves between the New Deal and national de¬ fense. It will be more difficult than ever before. However, my courage is good. I will see you soon. Best love in which Mildred joins me. Affectionately, Warren WRA/s
