Dr. Fredrick Patterson, President
Tuskgee Institute
Tuskgee, Alabama

Dear Dr. Patterson:

We all regret that it was necessary for you to resign as President of this great institution; however, if it will preserve your health and keep you here with us for a long long time we all should be happy. 

Your connection with another great institution (Phelps Stohs) which will still give you a great opportunity to help the public.

Sorry I could not be in Memphis when you were here.

Best wishes

Your friend,
