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 To Joshua Longstreth Daily Tuskegee, Alabama, May ~5 85 Dear Mr. Bailey. By this mail I send you a marked copy of the ''Montgomery Daily Advertiser''1 containing marked articles on a subject about which we talked when I was there. The ''Advertiser'' is one of the bitterest democratic papers in the South. Yours Sincerely B. T. Washington Thanks for your temperance speech. ALS Quaker Collection PHC. ~ Probably the issue containing BTW's letter to the editor on April ~4, 1885. From George M. Elliott Selma Ala. 5- ~ 8. ~ 885 Dear Sir. Yours of the lath inst. was duly received. I am glad that so much is being done in the matter of the Railroads. I have believed all the time that our object would be reached. I went to work with that in view. I do not intend to discontinue the matter till I see all that is desired on the roads of the South. I have been delayed in publishing the matter that I have. My trip to New Orleans, school & church duties all combined have given me no time to write. Then the resolutions were in Marion for a long time & I was unable to get them that I might prepare my matter. I can now devote some time to writing. I hope I shall be able to accomplish all that I have before me. I intend to give the Times an opportunity to say something on the subject. Have you seen my last article in the Posts on that subject. I am glad that you have broken the ice on the W.R.R.2 I hope I shall find things all right, when I pass over it. It is the only R.R. that I have not been brought in contact with. I believe I have been successful on all the other roads leading into Selma. Nothing providentially preventing I shall be on hands to meet the 276
