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.

ADDE N DA From Charles William Anderson New York, N.Y. December ~ I, 1906 ~ Confidential) My dear Doctor: Only a line to say that ~ saw Mr. Wetmore on yesterday, who gave me in detail some of the circumstances of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell's recent visit to this city. It appears she remained here from Thursday until the following Monday, in order to have a conference with MilholIand. It also appears that in her lecture at Mount Olivet Church, she devoted considerable time to drastic criticisms of that sort of race leadership, which holds up the seamy-side of the race, tells dialect stories at the expense of the race, advises the race not to retaliate, but to seek the approval of those who approve of negroes, only as subordinates and inferiors, and counsels the race to acquire only an inferior sort of education. This was meant for you, he said. This evidently pleased my informer, for he invited her the next evening to occupy a box at one of the theaters, and after the performance to dine with him at one of the restaurants. This is for your private information. Yours truly, Charles W. Anderson P.S. Wetmore said: ''why, she did everything but call his name. She told me she was going to unshirt him, and she did.'' C.W.A. I`LS Con. an BTW Papers DLC. Postscript in Anderson's hand. To Daniel Hale Williams Tuskegee, Ala.] October 30, 1909 Personal My dear Dr. Williams: ~ hear that our friend Fortune has gone to Chicago, is perhaps there now. ~ hope that you and Mrs. Williams will keep an eye on him. ~ want to say to you in a very confidential way that for several months he has been in bad shape, physically and mentally, as you perhaps have observed if you have been in contact 5~9
