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.

AUGUST · 1888 admit of a more detailed account of my short experience among these people. The Negroes here are not the kind that I admire. I am sorry to hear from T.2 that Treadwell2 is still there giving trouble. I may be here for about four weeks longer then I shall probably remain in St. Paul or Chicago until Fisk opens. Remember me to each one of your family; Miss Campbell3 included. I shall be pleased to exchange photo's, with you. A few days ago I was in Minneapolis and had some taken, but they have not been sent to me, yet. I have nothing more to say at present. Please excuse penmanship & composition as the young men are making a good dead of noise around me. I am as ever, Your Sincere Friend ALS Con. 89 BTW Papers DLC. William Jenkins ~ Tuskegee? 2 James R. Treadwell. 3 Probably Mary C. Campbell, who was in charge of the girls' industrial room at Tuskegee in 1886-87. From Rosa Mason Poughkeepsie, N.Y. August ~ st. ~ 888 Dear Mr. Washington, As the noise in Ala. Hall was very trying to me last term I would like to board outside next year. Mr. Johns says that I may board with him, and I would like very much to do so. Have you any objection? I fee] that I need a quiet place. In fact I know that I can do better work and will be a great deal stronger if I can have a room alone, and at the same time be away from the noise of the girls. I do not ask to board outside in order to get rid of any work which may fall to me. My boarding at Mr. John's will not prevent me from assisting with the Study Hours or anything of the kind. There is another matter which I wish to speak of, and that is my salary next year. I have heretofore worked for less than the most of the other teachers have received, and ~ know that I have done quite as much work as some of them. Is there any reason for the difference? 473
