Dear Dr. Patterson:

It is with sincere regret that the Tuskegee Alumni in Columbus and the entire South learn of your resignation as President of our beloved Alma Mater.

I believe the enclosed editorial from our daily paper bespeaks what is in the hearts of all of us.

Thank you again for making us all feel proud that we are sons and daughters of Tuskegee.

May you and yours find happiness and contentment in your new field of endeavor. Our prayers, hopes and good wishes go with you.

Yours very sincerely,
[[signature-Gordon H Kitchen]]
