Dear Mr. Honeycutt,
This is a thank you note. You have done so many fine things that deserve thanks I hardly know which to thank you for first.
I have learned only recently that you prepared that fine news paper article last fall about the corn produced in this area by some of the FFA boys. It was very unselfish of you to give credit to an organization other than the one to which you owe primary allegiance. Such devotion to the cause of helping our young men on the farm, without too much regards for credit is a wholesome attitude that needs multiplying.
Also, I have heard many fine remarks about the good work you have been doing with the young people’s group at Evansdale. You, in cooperation with Mr. Golston, have laid the foundation for a community project that is worthy of duplication. Your constant spirit of cooperation in the promotion of the rural welfare will undoubtedly make its permanent mark on the people of this area.
It is very unusual for me to write a letter like this but I have been thinking for a long time about the good work you are doing and fine spirit with which you do it. Probably, I should thank Mr. Anthony, too, because I imagine his philosophy has had its influence on your program.
With kindest regards, I remain
Yours very truly,
W.M. Ginn
Teacher of Agriculture
