Jan. 8 – 28. My very dear friend Mrs. Slagle: - Your delightful letter reached me last night, I have read it over and over so many times, and each time I seem to gather new inspiration from it. The papers are so full of everything except the right thing, and the spirit of distrust and hate seems to be ever uppermost, instead of love for each other. I am not good by any manner of means but I do try to live the “Golden Rule” way of life which is the Jesus way of life as nearly as I can understand it. I am so glad that dear “Dick” could spend the holidays at home, I had not heard from him in some time and I was not sure if he was home or not. Yes I do love his picture, it is just like the dear, handsome boy. I have it before me as I write. How interesting that you came

In this letter of January 8, 1928, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle, expressing his gratitude for Mrs. Slagle's decision to allow her son Thomas (Dick) to work with him in Alabama and offering his hopes for the younger man's future. Carver then discusses his attitudes towards wealth, and describes his ambitions to improve the world rather than to be rich. After briefly commenting on Mr. Slagle's health, Carver responds to an invitation from Mrs. Slagle to visit the family in the coming summer; he discusses his physical concerns as well as the potential for race-related difficulties in spending time with the family. He closes by expressing his affection for Dick and the rest of the family.
