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.

Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington Dictated by Mr. Washington but not signed by him. TLpSr Con. 647 BTW Papers DLC. Signed in E. I. Scott's hand. From George Richards :Lyman' Pasadena, California, Dec. 27. ~ 9 ~ ~ My dear Dr. Washington: ~ take pleasure in enclosing herewith, from Mrs. Lyman, our daughter Alice and myself, check for $~50.00 to cover the three one-year scholarships of which I spoke to you. Please accept this gift as a little souvenir of our delightful visit among you, and of our warm appreciation of the uniformly tactful, intelligent and courteous attention shown us on every hand, and of the magnificent work the Institute is doing under the leadership and control of yourself and Mrs. Washington. In going to Tuskegee we expected much, but we found more. You have built up in material equipment, and in the consecrated lives of enthusiastic and efficient co-workers, an instrumentality wisely conceived and admirably administered for the uplift and development of your race, and thus for the solving of a great national problem. Not often has it been given to a man to dream such a dream, and less often yet to live to see his dream come true. God has been very good to you, for he has wonderfully helped you to realize great possibilities of servlce. 429
