in the light of those folish laws passed in Va. directed at Hampton Inst. and what is going on now in Fla. From the very first, I wanted the dear boy so that I could teach him, along the very lines in which he is gifted. He is without doubt one of the dearest boys I have ever met. So very, very bright, wholesome and an altogether sweet boy from every angle. If I were not here in the South, the problem of getting him would be easy, I would take him in the laboratory with me. I long for the boy, my heart is set on him, and I am praying that God will open the way for me to have him. I hear from him very regularily now. Just had a fine letter from the dear fellow last night. He had just returned from a Camping tour up in the Mountains, and from his description of things he saw and collected, he got much out of the trip. I believe God will open the way so that I can get him, I am right now doing o so many, many things in which he is interested. Please pray with me, to God that He will open the way for me to have my dear “son Timothy”. I love the dear lad just as genuinely as ever Paul loved his dear little Timothy.

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.
