March 16, 1953

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

Dear Dr. Patterson:

I thought you would like to have extra copies of the two enclosures. I know now that you meant what you have said to me personally from time to time. We regret your leaving. The "South's" loss is the "World's" gain. One day some one will write a searchlighting article on what I choose to call "Southern casualties in Manpower." They are not confined to color either.

As always you have my best wishes in whatever you do.

Sincerely yours,
