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 3 To Emmett Jay Scott [Tuskegee, Ala.] June 6, ~ 9 ~ 3 Mr. Scott: If you can get the time, I wish you would write a letter to several colored papers with a Nashville date line describing the bad conditions that exist in the colored cars on the L. & N. road after leaving Nashville. B. T. W. TLI Con. 58 BTW Papers DLC. To Bruce Kinney [Tuskegee, Ala.] June Sixth, ~ 9 ~ 3 My dear Sir: Referring very briefly to yours of May 30th, which find on my return home, ~ would say that all ~ attempted to do in the series of articles which I dictated rather hastily on my journey West was to give a report of my impressions. Perhaps in my haste, in several directions ~ might have stated part of the truth rather than the whole truth; in any case, ~ was trying to be truthful and fair. My own race has suffered so much through misrepresentation, that ~ naturally have a kind of fellow-feeling for any group of people that IS likely to be misrepresented. ~ heartily wish I could reply more fury to your interesting letter, but, as ~ am preparing to leave Tuskegee for an important commencement engagement very soon, ~ cannot at this time do so. Perhaps I may see you at sometime and talk matters over with you more fully. Yours very truly, [Booker T. Washington] TLp Con. 927 BTW Papers DLC. ~ Bruce Kinney (b. 1865) was southwest district superintendent of missions and district secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society from ~ 907 to :9~4, and general superintendent for ten states west of the Mississippi River beginning in 19~4.
