DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE [[letterhead]] FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCY REGIONAL OFFICE 50 Seventh Street, N.E. Atlanta 5, Georgia April 17, 1953 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION [[handwritten-Reg letter]] Dr. F.D. Patterson President Tuskegee Institute Tuskegee, Alabama Dear Dr. Patterson: The news that you are to be connected with the Phelps Stokes Foundation has reached me by devious ways. Although I am pleased that the scope of your work is thus being broadened, I cannot help but regret that you are leaving Tuskegee Institute. Your work over the years has been valuable, both to the Institute and to the South. Your loss to the Institute is a great one. I would like to express to you my appreciation of having had the opportunity of working with you over the past few years. I trust that we will have some opportunity in the future of continuing our pleasant working relationship. I trust you will look us up when your work brings you to Washington. Yours sincerely, [[signature-Lucille J. Marsh, M.D.]] Lucille J. Marsh, M.D. Acting Regional Medical Director Children's Bureau
