March 12, 1953.

Dr. Frederick D. Patterson,
President,
Tuskegee Institute,
Tuskegee, Alabama.

Dear Dr. Patterson:

In the New York Times of March 12, I read that you are resigning at Tuskegee to become director of the Phelps Stokes Fund.

I am sorry to see you leave Tuskegee where you did an outstanding job under difficult conditions, but I know your new field offers you broader opportunities.

I send you my congratulations and very best wishes.

Sincerely,
