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.

The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers be sent to Mr. Parsons, and have gone over it with both Dr. Washington and Mr. Tulane. It goes forward today. ~ have made out the best case possible and they have endorsed what ~ have written and also the suggestions of the letter which we are forwarding to Mr. Parsons. Please ted Dr. Mason that in addition to this, Dr. Washington has telegraphed to Mr. Parsons to enquire if he Is coming South at any time soon, and if so as to where he may meet him. In addition to this matters are going to be taken up with Mr. WiDcox as soon as we reach Tuskegee. In other words, we are on the job, and it is incumbent that our Birmingham friends do everything possible to make the directors realize their responsibility. Why would it not be a good idea to institute suits against the heaviest debtors and thus get the fear of the Lord into their souls. There Is no reason on earth why you and Dr. Mason and those of us here should be working to extract the bank from its difficulties while these other people are supinely sitting down doing nothing. It seems to me it is up to them to come across with something very definite in the way of renewals of subscriptions to the capital stock or a very substantial reduction in their loans. Dr. Washington Is most anxious of not having the responsibility of carrying this matter put on his shoulders without the Birmingham directors sharing to the fullest extent their own personal responsibilities. Will you and Dr. Mason not go over this matter and write to me at Tuskegee Institute, where ~ wiD be Wednesday night. Please mark your letter to me there ''Personal.''
