Jim is overseas, Junior is in camp and Mary is working in a war plant. This leaves us a little eS: especially with volunteer work, O, C. D U.S. 0., rationing board anid soon. But we'll make out if we can keep our patience and work hardienough. Senator, I'll have to admit we did lose patience a few months back. Junior used to say I always scolded him too late— after he had already made up his own mind to do better. I guess I was waiting till I got my temper under control. And that’s what I’ve done in your case, too. First (this is just the way I used to start in to take our boys down a peg), 1 hope you fellows we've elected to Congress are going to take some more responsibility. Now that the. businessmen and the farmers have turned intto production wiz- nae WINKS WEL Type 4 ards, we wouldn’t mind if a few poli- ticians that you and I know would turn into statesmen for the duration. Second, 1 wanted to warn you about money. We know you have to think in big sums and spend a lot of money for the war. But try and remember how hard Mother and I worked to buy $200 worth of bonds. Don’t let them throw our money away or waste even a fittle. A wasted million dollars won’t save any soldier lives. And it will hurt five shousand families like ours who sweated it out in bonds and taxes. And listen, Senator, don’t worry about whether we're going to co-operate or not. We've given Uncle Sam our boys, our businesses, our money and all our con- fidence and, if you think anybody that will give this much is going to quibble about a gallon of gasoline or a can of beans, if you think that, well, somehow or other when you took the train to Washington you left all your common- sense on the platform back here! Mother and I and everybody we know * * * want you to nave evtrything to work with and want to give you the most loyal, intelligent, whole-hearted co-oper- ation that was ever pag any govern- ment in the history of the world. That’s what you can count on from the folks back home. Now you know us, Senator, you know we all want to win this war just as and as positive as anyeody in Washington does. You know something else, too, sir. You know we have faith in you— faith you'll do the right thing. I remember how we put it up to Junior when we mortgaged the place to send him to college: “Son, we're counting on you.” And, somehow, Senator, Mother and 1 feel you and Congress aten’t going to let us down.
