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

Dear Dr. Patterson:

I am terribly sorry you are leaving Tuskegee. I have never had the opportunity to express it to you, but I have always had a great admiration for you and a great regret that I have never had the opportunity to talk more with you.

It has always been you who has supplied the leadership. Certainly, you may count on me as one of your friends who will always stand ready to be of any service I can to you in your new position.

Cordially yours, 
[[signature-Ralph McGill]]
