of their friends. From time to time as I go around over the Country I meet some of them, they make it very pleasant for me and would of course make it pleasant for Dear “Dick”. and no telling what might come of it in the future. I am trusting God for direction in his case I bet that He will do it. Please pardon this long rambling letter, but when I am writing to you it seems that I am perfectly sure you will understand me, and how happy I am to have such Godly friends, friends whom God has blessed, and who God will take care of. Just remember that my prayers are always for you. The book you sent me is such a treasure, and I do prize the pictures so much. Very sincerely yours. Geo. W. Carver.

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.
