Dear D. Patterson-

Your letter concerning your resignation as President of Tuskegee has reached me here. While I was prepared for it by a talk I had with Mr O'Connor before I left I read it with with feelings of great regret.  

You have done a splendid job for Tuskegee and it has been a great pleasure and privilege for me to have known you and to have been associated with you. 

I know the new work will be interesting and you are certainly well qualified to head up the Foundation and I wish you the greatest success and happiness.

I shall look forward with pleasure to seeing you somehow when you are in N.Y.

Mrs. Warner and I are having a very interesting life. We have been to Morocco and Southern Spain and are in this beautiful place for a couple of weeks.

With very good wishes for you and your family,

Yours faithfully,
