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.

APRIL · I9I4 To- Charles William Anderson [Tuskegee, Ala.] April 2nd, 19~4 Dear Mr. Anderson: ~ congratulate you upon the fine approval registered at Washington by the Revenue Agent, Mr. Worthington after his examination of your office. ~ am very much pleased indeed to make note of his fine expressions. With best wishes, ~ am Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington P.S.: ~ have been able recently to get into a little working touch with President Wilson, and if at any time, you think ~ can be of any special service to you, please do not hesitate to let me know. ~ think it also wise for you to keep in close and definite touch with Mr. George Foster Peabody. If ~ were you, ~ would write him a letter once in a while, and give him definite facts as to what you have done and are doing. B. T. W. TLpS Con. 68 BTW Papers DLC. To Gifford Pinchot [Tuskegee, Ala.] April 3, 19~4 My dear Mr. P~nchot: I have kept your letter on my desk several days without answering In order that ~ might consider the best way of helping to accomplish the results you desire: In the first place, let me say that ~ am heartily in favor of your candidacy. Nothing, ~ think, would be more inspiring and helpful to the nation than to have a man like yourself In the Senate. Now, as to the best method of helping you. ~ do not believe it would help but rather hinder if I were to come out publicly in your favor, that is, ~ think the politicians in your state would use the fact of outsicle interference to drive votes from you rather than to bring them to you; In a word, what ~ would suggest is something like this: for you to get hold of one of the strongest and most reliable colored men in Pennsylvania and gradually work with and through him. 3
