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 Saw Mill and Log wagons $320.00 Labor - (out side) 53.70 Freight Lumber, board of engineer, etc. Fixtures As, 6 I .90 65.34 I48.IO We deferred the payment till Ian ISt because we did not want to be cramped for cash with which to get the proper out-fit to start the mill. We shall be able to meet the terms of the agreement although you see we only have a little over $400 left with which to do it, but we are realizing something now regularly from the sale of lumber &c. We have just taken a contract to furnish the lumber and build a two room house for a gentleman for $300. At the soonest time practicable we shall add the planer &c. The above items only include cash out lays and do not include student work &c. nor oxen &c. purchased to draw logs, these being charged to farm. The saw-mill is proving a satisfactory addition to our industries and as we gain more experience in the matter it is going to be still more so. Already the out side demand for lumber is so great that we find it hard to keep enough on hand for our own use. I am very glad to hear that Mrs. Marshall is better and hope you are well. We are running over with students. Second handed clothing are in great demand with us this term. All send love. Yours faithfully Booker T.
