COPY February 5, 1935 Dear Mother: I have your beautiful letter. Mildred and I read your letters aloud, and enjoy them very much. The Senate is marking time, but Senate Committees are working hard, and when the work comes out of the Committees the wheels will speed up here, and your Record will show something of more interest. I am a Member of the subcommittee of the Judiciary considering the Black Thirty Hour Bill. It looks very much as though I might be the only Member of that subcommittee of five who will vote against the bill. If that should prove to be true, I would feel obliged to present the minority point of view on the Floor of the Senate. An editorial was put into The Record by Senator Barbour which you would like to see. You will find it at p. 636 of The Record of January 17th. Best love from both of us to you. Your affectionate son Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin, 91 South Main Street, St. Albans, Vermont.
