[[preprinted]] ISREAL A. M. E. CHURCH 385 HAMILTON STREET ALBANY 10, NEW YORK CHAS E. STEWART THE MINISTER RESIDENCE 285 1-2 HUDSON AVENUE PHONE 3-8772 [[/preprinted]] March 24, 1953 Dr.F.D.Patterson Tuskegee Institute, Alabama My Dear Dr.Patterson: Without evaluating you great worth to the new position you will take with the Phelps Stokes Fund in New York, do permit me to say that your leaving the Tuskegee Institute is a great loss to that institution. Your eighteen years of service there has been most notable. Let me thank you for permitting me to come to Tuskegee so many times for Sunday Sermons through the good offices of the Chaplain. It has been a pleasure to me and the hospitality offered has always been superb. May I wish for you continued great success in your new field. Most respectfully yours, [[signature]] Chas. E. Stewart
