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

Dear Sir:

I note through Associated Press (with much regret) that you will soon sever your connections with Tuskegee to accept a position with Phelps-Stokes fund. Your leaving Tuskegee will be a distinct loss to all Americans and especially those living in the deep South.

Yours very truly
