Patterson Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee Institute, Alabama Dear Fred: My failure to write, long since, about your leaving Tuskegee and your new work is in nowise due to any lack of interest. You know that, of course. It will be a long time before your place can be filled at Tuskegee but I know that the new work will be satisfying in itself and will give you many new opportunities and outlooks. The Stokes Fund is very fortunate! All good wishes. Very sincerely, [[signature]] Paul Franklin
