The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers To Warren Bogart United States Hotel, Portland, Maine June 30 1888 Dear Mr. Logan: Enclosed ~ send a check for Moo. payable to you on the First National Bank, Portland. I have been making a call an Miss Hawley who goes to Tuskegee in Sept. She is a very fine teacher and we are very fortunate in securing her. She has taught with great success in the white schoob here for several years. Her home is a very cultured and refined one, and ~ fee! sure that she is going to make one of the best teachers we have ever had. Caution my brother to keep the expenses of the boarding dep't as low as possible. Yours sincerely Mr. C.~ is still in N.~. sick. ALS Con. 86 BTW Papers DLC. B. T. Washington ~ Samuel E. Courtney. Logan wrote to BTW on June 22, 1888: ''I don't see that Mr. Courtney is accomplishing much as far as immediate results are concerned. I have rec'd. no money from him since you went away. He writes that he is ill and thinks it best for him to 'lay off' for a little while.'' (Con. 89, BTW Papers, DLC.) From John Henry Washington Tuskegee, Ala., July 4, ~ 888 My Dear Brother: I wrote you briefly yesterday about some matters here. I learn from Mr. Brown and Mr. Adams that Mr. Chas. Thompson~ was raging about the debt that we owe him and went so far as to say if he knew who to sue up here that he would sue for the amt. We can not afford to have our school to' be talked of in that way, as it will make others who' we owe become uneasy. It is a fact that we owe considerable and people are calling for it nearly every day. Mr. Logan told me before he took sick that school owed about $4,500.00.2 A great number of the men have been put off so often and long until they have become tired. 462
