8 – 19 – 26. My dear friend Mrs. Slagle: - How happy I am to get your fine letter. I fully realize that you are very, very buisy and do not have much time to devote to me, but your letters are always so spiritual, so refreshing to the very soul that I always look forward to their receipt with so much pleasure. I certainly thank you for your prayers they are sustaining me, There are so many people who are praying for me, that I really believe with all of my heart, that this is the thing that keeps me in good health. Of course I get very, very tired at times and have dizzy spells, but thank God they only last a few moments and then I feel as well as ever. I do hope dear “Dick” will come back south I yet entertain hope of getting him so that I can assist him in his creative work in chemistry. The Carver Products Co. did not do anything but spend considerable money, several thousand dollars they have spent so much money that I am yet

George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle in this letter of August 19, 1926, thanking her for her prayers and her letters and briefly discussing his health. He then talks about the failure of the Carver Products Company before telling of Carver Penol Company, which was just beginning operations, and expressing his hopes that the company would be a financial success and contribute meaningfully to society. He writes of his continued desires to be able to teach her son Thomas (Dick), before expressing his joy after hearing of a successful revival in Macon County led by a minister whose beliefs he is in agreement with. Carver discusses his own religious life and recounts an incident in which he injured his thumb with a hatchet and how prayer may have contributed to its healing, as well as to the continued improved health of Mr. Slagle.
