My esteemed friend Mrs. Slagle: - 4 – 14 – 26. How refreshing to get your good letter, for several days I have been thinking of you more than usual, Was going to send you just a little note of greeting when lo your fine letter came. The Carver Products Co. tell me they are making progress, but I cannot discuss anything they have done more than that of spending money, they have several thousand dollars invested in it already, which gives me hope that they will not let it fall through. Another company has organized, as per in clared circular that promises to get on its feet more quickly than the Products Co. to *** the paint. Personally, I was more anxious for the paint company to start, so that I could have our dear boy near me. The situation is puzzleing and if we loose sight of the fact that God still lives I would get discouraged, especially
Object

In this letter of April 14, 1926, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle, informing her of his concerns about a delay in the work of the Carver Products Company regarding paint production before discussing his desire to teach and mentor her son and the difficulty that race relations in the South pose to that endeavor. He indicates that he hears from her son regularly and writes about what he has learned from him about his education before discussing the possibility of visiting him in Washington during a planned trip to Los Angeles. He briefly mentions his gratitude at Mr. Slagle's improving health and her son's religious faith before discussing how Mrs. Slagle's interest in nature has passed to her son. He then reiterates his hopes of teaching her son and closes by thanking Mrs. Slagle for her letter and offering his prayers for her family, with special emphasis on Mr. Slagle's health.
