  • 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
