George Washington Carver offers encouragement to a young student in Georgia: “...it is such a joy to see you develop into the ‘all around' man that you are capable of making both physically and mentally...

Carver writes in full:
I have enjoyed your splendid letter so very much, it is nicely written and expressed splendidly. I am so glad your mother is improving. What little I have done for you has been a very great pleasure and has yielded 100% in value to me, as it is such a joy to see you develop into the “all around” man that you are capable of making both physically and mentally, and indeed the way your training and ambitions are leading you. By all means bring your friend with you and If I can help him in the least, I will be glad. Dear, bring your rocks when you come, and you can bring any other specimens you wish also. Much to my delight your mother has promised to let you come down and say with me several days this summer after your school is out. I am going to begin planning now some nice things for us to do, in the way of collecting and identifying what we find microscopically and otherwise. Fine, in time I am confident that we can have your face perfectly smooth and velvety in texture, as your leg improves, and the circulation throughout the body improves the principles and congestion will leave the face. My, wouldn't it be great if you lived near so you could be here frequently, but we are going to manage it so that my dear handsome boy can develop along the lines that God has so richly endowed you. You are laying a splendid foundation upon which to build, get all of your studies Just as perfectly as you can, a working knowledge of these[?] if possible. I am always glad to get your letters. I think God that Mr. Hardwick brought you down. Geo. W. Carver $300 - $500
