Tuskegee Institute, Alabama

Dear Pat:

I believe I have recovered sufficiently from the shock of the news of your leaving Tuskegee and the joy in knowing you will be coming to New York as Director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, to be able to write you. I don't know when I have had such conflicting reactions.

So, belatedly, please accept my warm congratulations and hearty best wishes on your new and significant post. You must have new and larger fields to conquer. A realization of this fact is what finally resolved the conflict in my reactions, plus the fact that all of us are overjoyed at the fact that you will be nearer us in New York.

Regards and best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Randall L. Tyus,
Field Director
