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.

From Timothy Thomas Fortune New York, Sept 2~, 18 My dear Prof Washington: Your favor of the lath inst was received. I am sure I appreciate the position in which you find yourself, financially, and regret it on your account as well as on mine. It is the most uncomfortable situation in which I ever found myself and I have been am very much cut up by it, as I have found that it is easier to get into such a pickle than to get out of it. I am sure that if you could you would, and there is much satisfaction in that fact. With kind regards, Yours truly, T. Thos. Fortune ALS Con. ~ BTW Papers DLC. ~73
