In this letter from November 13, 1924, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. Henry (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle to send her greetings before he leaves for New York to speak. He lets her know that he has heard from her son, Dick and he sends his prayers to Mr. Slagle who has Parkinson's. George Washington Carver (1864?-1943) served as Director of Agriculture at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama and taught there for 47 years. He was a prominent African American agricultural scientist and inventor and was a leader in promoting environmentalism. In 1923, Carver met Thomas Dickey (Dick) Slagle (1905-1971) when he came to lecture at Blue Ridge Assembly near Black Mountain. Slagle, who was enrolled at UNC Chapel Hill, was there representing a student group and was assigned as Carver's guide. The two became close friends. Slagle later became a physician in Sylva, N.C.
