  • March 25th, 1933 Dear H.T. Hunter, Cullowhee N.C. Dear Dr. Hunter: I have just returned from Raleigh, having been there on business for my Company. While there I was very much pleased to find that our Representative Dan Tompkins and our Senator Frances have been putting up a good strong fight to secure the Western Carolina Teachers College appropriations fitting to it’s needs and to the extent of fairness in comparison to other institutions; and while I am yet of the opinion that from the standpoint of equity, our institution is still lagging, and I want to commend both Senator Francis and Representative Tompkins for their splendid efforts, the result of which you know. I was informed that you have been ill and unable to be at your office, but trust that you are again well ere this. With kind personal regards, I am sincerely yours, C. B. Robinson c/c Senator Francis c/c Representative Tompkins Dear Dan, Sorry not to have seen you again and thank you for courtesies extended. Had to get home last night but enjoyed my trip. Charlie
