I can add to that editorial that personally I hate to see you leave Tuskegee. At the same time, I am happy that you are going on to a larger field where your great talents may be applied to the benefit of the entire South. I am enclosing several extra clippings of the editorial in the thought that some of your friends or some members of your family might like to have them.
