  • Sept. 10 - 28.My esteemed friend, Mrs. Slagle. - This is just to extend to you and the family greetings, and to say to you and Mr. Slagle, that at this time I have a mingled feeling of sadness and joy. I am sad because our dear, dear boy le[f]t for home this morning, and I could not go with him to see you, but he sees the situation in which I am placed quite clearly, He will tell you all about it I am sure, and the plans for the future. I am happy because I have tried out the dear boy’s mind and the ability to create and I take great pleasure in saying that he has the finest mind for that kind of work, of any one I have met. I have known it in a way ever since I first met the dear, handsome fellow, but now I have had a chance to try him out and I am really thrilled over his ability. God Willing, we have made tentative plans to be together once every year from now on. We will take up the work right where we left it off. I doubt if you realize what a talented boy God has given you, and he is such a dear, sweet handsome fellow in every way besides, makeing an unusually rare combination. He is a great comfort to me at all times. May God ever bless, keep and prosper you, in every way is my prayer. Very sincerely yours, G.W. Carver
