ALS signed “G. W. Carver,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, March 7, 1935. Letter to Floyd Anderson in Chipley, Georgia. In part: “My, but it is fine to hear from my dear, handsome boy. I feared you were not well, hence my anexiety [sic]. I am glad that you are improving and hope you will soon be yourself again. I am so glad you agree with me about the spanking. We will have to talk it over when we get to gether. I am so glad there are no scars that will show. Dear, I want my young Edison to be extremely careful, as I want nothing to happen to him that will retard his progress. Glad you did not let your mother wory [sic] over it. Glorious, that you are planning to work your way through Ga. Tech. There is nothing that develops a person like self reliance, begin early to take care of your self and it will make a strong, successful business man out of you. That is just what made Edison the man that he was. You are right dear, if any one wants education, badly enough, there is no force that can keep him from getting it.” Intersecting folds, uniform mild toning, and light show-through from writing on either side, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. At thiis time, Carver was largely occupied with work on peanut oil massages for polio. Carver received tremendous media attention and visitations from parents and their sick children due to his work on peanut oil massages for polio; however, it was ultimately found that peanut oil was not the miracle cure it was made out to be—it was the massages.
