Tuskegee Institute, Alabama

Dear Dr. Patterson:

I regret to learn of your resignation as President of Tuskegee Institute, and the loss of your direct institutional guidance in the field of higher education. I must admit that I envy your glorious opportunity to be released from the many pressures connected with the responsibility of a College President.

Please accept my best wishes for your success in your new field of endeavor.

Yours very truly,
