As you know interested in complexion or nationality. I love dear “Dick” for himself, as a dear, sweet, wholesome boy, with quite an unusual mind, a creative one, a mind that I beleive God has selected to emphasize ^some of His glory, majesty and power. This is why I have always had the dear boy

In this brief letter of March 17, 1928, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle, indicating his love for his fellow African Americans. He then talks about his love for Mrs. Slagle's son Thomas (Dick) and the potential he sees in the younger man's intellectual abilities. Carver relates the difficulties that racial prejudice has created for his desire to teach Dick, though Carver expresses his hope that he will ultimately have the opportunity to teach the younger man.
