Patterson Tuskegee, Alabama Dear Dr. Patterson: Ever since I saw the notice in the paper of your new work, I have intended writing you and congratulating you on a job well done. I have not had much contact with your work during the last few years, but I have told many people over the country about my opinion of the way you have run your college, from my observation during the Sparks' Administration. Let me take this opportunity to wish you every success in the future. Yours very truly, signature[[Geo. Bliss Jones]] George Bliss Jones Executive Director GBJ/jms
