The page presentation framework of the Booker T. Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

From William Howard Taft [Washington, D.C.] June 24, ~ 909 My dear Dr. Washington: I have your letter of June lath and have read it with a great deal of interest. The matter of appointments and filling places is a most difficult one to carry out, for the reason that the places are so few and vacancies come so rarely that it is difficult to shape a plan of action; but I intend nevertheless to carry out the ideas I have already explained to you, and I hope that circumstances will so adjust themselves that I can demonstrate it. Very sincerely yours, Wm H Taft TLpS William Howard Taft Papers DLC. To
