Mentally and spiritually I am not nearly as good as I ought to be. It is such a pleasure to always remember you and yours in my prayers. I feel that God has done some wonderful things for Mr. Slagle in the improvement of his health. I am so anxious for dear “Dick” to study pharmaceutical botany, I believe he has a natural knack for it and could do wonderful things in that direction along with his food chemistry. I believe you, with your strong spiritual powers, could do much in the way of healing; your knowledge of the proper preparation of food

In this letter of October 15, 1926, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle. He thanks her for her letters and expresses his joy that she and her family are well. He states his concern at having not heard from her son Thomas (Dick) and hopes that he will soon return home safely from Philadelphia. He expresses his love for Dick and the hopes he has for the younger man's future career in science. Carver also voices some concern about an upcoming trip to Knoxville and states his opinion that Mrs. Slagle would do well at healing work, based on her deep religious faith and her knowledge of how foods can be used to improve health. He closes by offering his hope that he and Mrs. Slagle will soon hear from Dick and offers his prayers for the family.
