ALS signed “G. W. Carver,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, September 24, 1934. Letter to "My beloved boy Mr. Davis," in full: "How happy I was to see you Sun. Sorry however that we could not have had our usual chat. There are so many things I would like to talk with you about. I was glad indeed to meet the Capt. and his wife they are charming people. I long for the time to come when we can be together unmolested, when we can go out, collect, return, and work up our specimens together. I want to live to see you take your place in the scientific world. You have the talent unmistakably. I yet believe we will be able to get together as we want when this turbulent condition is over. My but wouldn't it be fine for us to spend a couple of weeks somewhere in the mountains collecting? We will talk it over when we can get together." In fine condition, with two files holes to the top.
