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

Honorable Sir:

I was very sorry to note, some time ago, that you were leaving Tuskegee. I have hesitated, feeling that there were scores of people who would probably take immediate action as I am now taking. Having been a student at Tuskegee some years ago and having been associated with Tuskegee a long number of years through the Relays and other activities it is going to be sad, missing you.

I had planned to get my next degree over your signature but before things could materialize your are leaving. Kindly accept my heart-felt thanks for what you have done for the entire race and here is hoping that everything will be well with you wherever you may be. You have been a great president.

Very truly yours,
