United States Senate
WASHINGTON, D.C.
February 23, 1935
My dear Mother:
Here is a copy of Washington's
Farewell Address; also the Decla-
ration of Independence.
I appreciated your letter very
much. It is amazing that you and
I should have been writing the same
thoughts the same day, and that our
letters should have crossed.
I enclose herewith a list of names
of my predecessors in the business
of reading the Washington Address.
I am glad to be in such distinguished
company.
Your loving
Warren
Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin,
91 South Main Street,
St. Albans, Vermont.
