United States Senate
Washington
Jan. 4, 1940 
[1941]
My Dear Mother:
Had fine letters yesterday
from both Chan and Ros.
Yours of the 26th went the
rounds a little because it
was addressed to The
[ ]. There is no such
hotel here.  We are at [the]
The Shoreham, Apt 805-E.
You will be delighted
with the most generous
sketch of me by Richard L.
Strout, special correspondent
of the Christian Science Monitor


which was published on the front
page of the issue of
Thursday, January 2. This
page will be sent to you.
Note what it says about
your beans.
We will hold the
Conference of the Republicans
in the Senate today and
form an organization
for the 77th Congress.
It will be
McNary-Leader
Austin-Asst. Leader
Vanderberg-Pres. Pro. Tem. candidate.


White-Secretary.
I will broadcast Monday
night a N.B.C. Star Forum
of the Air at 10.30 P.M.
Best love,
Warren
