In part: “I thought of you so very very much while I was away, especially in Philadelphia while inspecting those great laboratories that covered 10 acres of floor space and where the[y] employ nearly 3,000 persons. Washington was great, and so was Danville, VA. I was made very, very happy when Mr. Bob Barry told me that you were showing the farmers peanut diseases at the fair. Dear, why didn't you tell me so that I could have helped you with a number of specimens. You know I would have been glad to. I want my dear, handsome boy to do just as much of this kind of work as possible. As soon as you get rested I hope you can come over.” Thoughtfully double-matted and framed with a photo of Carver to an overall size of 21 x 18, with a window on the reverse for viewing the opposing side of the letter.
