dosing it, and praying for ^the good Lord to forgive me for such foolishness and stupidity and heal the thumb without the loss of the nail. The thumb is here to convince the most skeptical the soreness has all gone and there remains only just a little blood shot portions and it is rapidly going leaving the thumb nail as clear and bring as it was before it was struck. The mark where I struck it and almost cut through the nail is yet plainly visible. Why should I not believe in prayer, after such a demonstration, and in Mr. Slagle’s case also. It has been raining every day here for nearly a month. What a wonderful reunion you had, how I wish dear “Dick” could have been with you. May God ever bless, keep, guide and protect you and yours especially being gracious to Mr. Slagle, healing his infirmities. I am very sincerely yours, Geo. W. Carver.

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.
