United States Senate
Washington, D.C.
June 18, 1940.
My Dear Mother:
This is a weighted
week:
Surrender of France
Congress considering adjournment
Preparation for Rep. Nat'l Conven-
tion
Sen. Gibson said to be dying-
The Drier Bill to pass or
to fail-
I must decide whether I
will second the nomination
of Taft for President-
Sen. Taft asked me
last Saturday to second
his nomination in the
Convention.
My ears are some-
what bedeviled by
the loud and unpleasant
voice of the Ham & Eggs
Senator from California
Sen. Downey - So I
will have to give
attention.
Best love,
Warren
