In this brief letter of February 2, 1925, George Washington Carver writes to Mrs. J.H. (Margaret Gillespie) Slagle to thank her for sending an unspecified book and a photograph of her family. The photo included an inscription indicating that one of her sons was killed in military service, and Carver responds by expressing his disdain for war and his hope that it will cease.
