Patterson, President Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Dear Dr. Patterson: I learned through the press last week that you had offered your resignation as President of Tuskegee Institute to accept another job which is, I am sure, a promotion and which will be less strenuous on you, because all of us are advancing in age and we should take it easy if possible. Remember that Henry Allen Boyd is just as close to you as your telephone, your mail box, post office or telegraph office. Yours truly, [[signature of Henry A. Boyd]] HENRY A. BOYD SECRETARY. HAB/C.
