it comes from you. I have often thought how fine it would be if he had a nice little laboratory at or near home, with a microscope and sufficient apparatus to do creative research work, how you would enjoy working in there with him, and if the racial hate up there was not too bad I could at times, arrange to stop off in passing through and assist him for a week or two days at a time. I am leaving the whole matter with the Lord asking Him to show me the way. I note with interest that you and I are nearly the same age. You being about two years older than myself, as far as I am able to figure out my age. I am again thanking you for your wonderful letter, and praying that God will ever, bless, guide, and keep you always.

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.
