Dr. F. D. Patterson,
Pres. Tuskegee Inst. Ala.

Dear Dr. Patterson:

It was a shock to us when we read the many newspapers stating you had resigned president of “Dear Old Tuskegee”. But still, if you see best, of course, we congratulate you on the new move. Selfishly speaking, I am glad to have been able to complete my work under your administration. Believe it or not but [[underline]]your [[/ underlined]] place will be hard to fill. You have brought Tuskegee a long way.

Well, we follow you with sincerity wherever you go.

Now, if this change – you are to make June 1st. interferes with you coming to us May 29th. as our guest speaker
