In this letter of February 1, 1927, George Washington Carver writes to Dick Slagle. After commenting briefly on his health and travel plans, Carver writes of a demand in Africa for scientists with the creative ability to take advantage of Africa's natural resources. Carver expresses his belief that Slagle is ideally suited for such work and advises him on the paths his studies should take. Carver then discusses his plans for the upcoming summer, and begins to discuss his plans and hopes to meet with Slagle for periods of intensive study He ends by encouraging Slagle to continue to learn and study on his own and passes on his concern for Slagle's family.
