Autograph Letter Signed (Als) Tuskegee, AL, 9 April 1933. Letter. Fine 2-page SIGNED letter on the front and rear of a sheet of Tuskegee Institute letterhead: @225 words to a student addressed as "My very own precious boy, Mr. Davis." A typically effusive letter but with some scientific content as well. In part: "Mr. Ford had decided not to push the project he wanted me to look over.. I have what they need worked out in the laboratory. I want them to see it. I cannot take it all up there." Henry Ford and Carver became friends during the course of the work Carver did for him in using plant weed to produce synthetic rubber and in developing a plastic material from soybeans that Ford used in parts of his automobile. Carver concludes, "Dear, the coconut (cocus nucifera) is propagated almost wholly from the seed, (the nut itself) the young plants come out from the two little eye like spots. The nuts grow in bunches similar to grapes from 12 to 15 in a bunch, at the top of the tree. I dreampt that we were traveling together last night, it seemed to be in some foreign country. I could not tell where." Carver of course is best known for his discoveries of the many products that could be made from peanuts, 325 to be exact, including milk, cheese, instant coffee, printer's ink, vinegar, dyes, soap, and wood stains. He was born a slave and as an infant was stolen and ransomed in exchange for a racehorse. Normal creases from folding. About Fine .
