A letter written to Dr. White from T. N. Carswell dated October 5, 1947. Carswell advises White that he thinks White is "the only man for the First Baptist Church in Abilene" and asks him to consider, or reconsider, the situation here and there insisting that there is both a need and an opportunity for White in Abilene. Carswell discusses his belief that HSU is bound to the fundamentals of their Baptist faith and precepts more than any other denominational school and fears the period of expansion and development at HSU could result in its breaking away from the truths "so forcefully catalogued in the James B.

He urges White to come to Abilene because only he, as Pastor of the First Baptist Church, can wield that "necessary and Christ-loving influence to hold and keep HSU on its true course".
