A personal letter to Mr. Davis, illustrating the warmth and dedication Carver felt towards the students he taught for so many years: "… I am thinking about you and am so happy over your progress. Yesterday… I went into a little copse of woods…and collected some wonderfully strange and beautiful things…When I returned I found sitting on the steps awaiting me a dear boy who I met at the Univ. of Miss. when I spoke there…He is especially interested in Geology and Biology. He too has a creative mind, not so fine and clear cut as yours, but very good indeed…". Two filing holes at top center border. The ink is a little light, otherwise fine.
