I want the dear boy to know things from oh so many, many angles, I want him to be able to talk, and walk with God through them. Then he will be such a mighty power in the world.

In this letter of April 2, 1925, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle regarding the health of her son Thomas (Dick), who had the mumps at the time, and also praises Dick's work and reputation as a student at the University of North Carolina. Carver also expresses his happiness that Mr. Slagle is well again and offers some advice on his continued recovery. He briefly discusses his own health and some praise he had received in the press before indicating his desire to travel to Franklin and spend time with Dick and the Slagle family collecting specimens in nature. He then expresses his hopes for Dick's future and how he wishes to be a mentor for him. The letter closes with Carver offering his prayers for the family and expressing his gratitude at having Mrs. Slagle as a friend.
