Prof. George W. Carver,
Tuskegee, Alabama.
Dear Professor Carver:
Your favor of the 28th inst., at hand. Yes, I am indeed sorry I could not go over to Tuskegee to visit you. My plans were all made to do so. I thought I would go over from Atlanta, but I was busy up to the last moment when I had to start for home to get to Ames by Tuesday morning. I wanted to go to Biltmore to study trees and this put me out of connection with Tuskegee. I hope you will pardon me. The only way out of it will be for me to make a special trip sometime.
You know I would like nothing better than to pay my good pupil a visit.
Yours truly,
