United States Senate
WASHINGTON, D. C.
April 23, 1935
My dear Mother:
We appreciated your fine letter of the 19th very much.
It is very pleasant to learn about your blossoms. I
know exactly how they delight you. I think there is
no thrill equal to that excited by the growing of plants
and things.
We are still working on the Farm Owners Loan Bill,
which I expect to vote against.
Your friend Huey made a speech here yesterday which
was listened to by packed galleries. People seem to
prefer his monkeyshines to the dignified, and some-
times learned, addresses of real statesmen. Worst
of all, they believe what he represents as facts to
be true.
Best love from both of us.
Your affectionate son,
Mrs. Chauncey G. Austin,
St. Albans,
Warren
Vermont.
