Mrs. J. H. Slagle, 4 – 2 – 25. Franklin N.C. My dear Mrs. Slagle: - I have been thinking of you so much for several days, and was just getting ready to write you when your beautiful letter came. I am the one that was hungry for one of your letters, mine are written under such high pressure being interrupted so much that I am sure they have but little continuity. I always like to write to my choice friends by hand, not dictated. The dear, dear boy “Dick” told me almost as soon as he took the mumps, I too was somewhat upset about him, where all of a sudden in came to me with renewed force, why worry. Jesus is the Great physician, He can bless every means applied to the healing of the dear fellow. Then too I knew you, and his Father were praying for him, along with me. So I braced up and said to myself God will not ignore all of our prayers, He will get well.

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.
