ALS signed “G. W. Carver,” one page both sides, 8.5 x 11, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, August 11, 1933. Letter to Mrs. Olivia Anderson, in Chipley, Georgia. In part: “I wish you knew what a Joy it is to have your son come down, he is in every way a dear, sweet, wholesome boy, With a very unusual mind, Just the kind out of which Edisons are made. I wish you could have been with us in the laboratory, and heard him name some of the sweet potato and peanut products, also the Clay and minerals. The dear boy remembered them without any coaching of mine. How I wish he was nearer to me so I could have him often when I was testing out some simple things that he could understand …The thing that makes me the most happy is his right leg. I want you to examine it and see how the muscles are developing. How the veins are swelling. Please pray with me that God will bless every means employed to the healing thereof.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a mild shade of uniform toning, and light show-through from writing on opposite side. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Carver’s hand. Consignor notes that in the last 35 years, only one Carver letter mentioning peanuts has sold at a major public auction.
