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.

JUNE ~ I 9 I I From Robert Heberton Terrell Memphis, Tennessee. June 2, ~ 9 ~ ~ My dear Doctor Washington: I beg to thank you again for all of the courtesies which you and Mrs. Washington were good enough to show me on my visit to Tuskegee. ~ am more and more Unpressed as I think of all that ~ saw and heard at your wonderful school. And when I go North next week ~ shall begin to ted the folks in that section in stronger terms than I have before used about the remarkable progress of the colored people of the South. The great business activity of these folks here in Memphis has surprised me beyond measure. In comparison with them the Northern colored man is asleep. The colored man above Mason and D~xon's line has privileges while his brother down here has property, and I believe that the property owner is bound to get all of his rights finally. I am remaining here to address the business men on Saturday night. I have not much to tell them but I am sure that I shall learn a great deal from them. My kindest regards for Mrs. Washington and Davidson. Faithfully yours, Robt. H. Terrell ALS Con. 443 BOW Papers DLC.
