June 26, 1924 Dr. L. H. Pammel Department of Botany and Pathology Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Dear Dr. Pammel: Upon my return from Blue Ridge, N.C., I found your good letter awaiting me. I have enjoyed it exceedingly. If any published reports come out with reference to your anniversary, I should like very much to get a copy. It seems to me that the Alumni Bulletin should give you a very good account of it. With sincere good wishes, and kindest regards to Mrs. Pammel, I am Very truly yours, G. W. Carver. Research and Experiment Station gwc/k P.S. If you have not already heard it, I feel sure that you will be pained to learn of the death of Dr. Sparks, who accompanied you here to Tuskegee. I just received the message last night, and was very pained to hear it indeed, as I feel that he was one of God's chosen messengers.
