March 23-- 28 My beloved teacher and friend, Dr. Pammel:-- You and Mrs. Pammel here last Sunday? I can scarcely realize it, to me it seems like one of those delightful dreams that we have occasionally, too good to be true. I trust you reached home safely. I wish you could have seen more of the work that I am trying to do. I am so glad that your health is being conserved so that you can go on inspiring and instructing young people. I meet quite a number of students who have been at Ames, and without a single exception, they say they have been in your class or wish they had. I presume the young man went his way, I hope he will do well. I have asked Dr. Motons office to send you some pictures of the school. I was greatly pleased to have you approve

the possibility of utilizing the palm for the making of paper. I believe it can be made a worthwhile industry here IN the South. I find so many wonderful possibilities here in the South, indeed I believe the South is the richest section of the United States in undeveloped resources. With so much love to you and Mrs. Pammel, I am sincerely yours, G. W. Carver
