CARVER, GEORGE WASHINGTON. Autograph Letter Signed, "G.W. Carver," to Mrs. Lee [former Tuskegee Choir leader Jennie C. Lee], expressing thanks for her musical leadership. 1 1/2 pages, 4to, written on the recto and verso of a single sheet, "Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute" stationery; remnants of prior mounting at upper corners, folds. Tuskegee, 22 January 1935
"Your letter is such a treasure. You have no idea how you have wove yourself into the very warp and weave of this institution, and how the people love you. . . . "I can so thoroughly imagine how your artist soul responds to the marvelous, intricate tonal effect of the pipe organ. . . . ". . . I have often wondered if some of our aspirants for the 'limelight life' really realize what a big, monumental thing you did when you chose to train young people, rather than to go into Grand Opera."
