Self-educated African-American botanist (circa 1864–1943) who became a leading expert in agricultural science, most notably relating to the cultivation and practical uses of the peanut. ALS signed “G. W. Carver,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, March 19, 1930. Carver writes to Henry Overton. In part [his spellings and language retained]: “There seems to be industrial unrest all over the country, where it is all going to end is beyond us to figure out. The prospect to me is not very easy. I found this unrest croppin out wherever I went on my tour. A person with a reasonably good job now had better hold on to it. I am glad you like your work and studies. I am sure also that you get a certain amount of enjoyment out of batching [i.e., bacheloring] haveing thing such as you want and the way you want them as far as your knowledge of the culinary art will permit you. Sometimes it prepares you to enjoy a good wholesome meal occasionally elsewhere. I am sure also that you find it much cheaper. I did. I kept ‘Batch.’ most of the time throughout my school career. The stains, paints etc. from clay are very numerous, and varied. The vegetable dyes give a much wider range of colors….” Intersecting folds and mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a portion of the original mailing envelope. RRAuction COA.
