MAY- 189£ To Frederick Douglass Tuskegee, Ala.] April 29th tI8932 Dear Mr. Douglass: According to promise ~ have delivered your message to Mr. A. C. Bradford in Montgomery to the effect that you would speak there on the night of the With of May, and not on the esth, leaving here after our Commencement exercises in time to reach Montgomery for the lecture there. This arrangement ~ find can be made to work, and this arrangement I have said to Mr. Bradford would be final. For you to speak in Montgomery before coming here, would defeat one of the main objects which I have in view in having you at Tuskegee, and I hope you will not consider for a moment any proposition to appear at any meeting in Alabama before coming to Tuskegee. I shall go ahead with our arrangements with the understanding above stated. We shall look for you here on the with. Yours truly, B. T. W. TLpI Con. ~o6 BTW Papers DLC. To Eliza Bolling~ [Tuskegee, Ala.] May 3rd t~8942 Miss Bolling: The Faculty has decided to ask you to have the girls' rooms given a thorough cleaning this week with a view of trying to get rid of the bed bugs that are to be found in all the buildings. It is not to the credit of the school and much to its hurt to have the constant report of bed bugs existing in the rooms. The girls not only talk about the matter among themselves but report it to their parents, and it brings disgrace on the institution. The cleanliness of the rooms is in your hands and we hold you responsible for this. Miss Murray says that she has spoken to you about the matter several times and given you a girl to do the work, but it has not been done. I have told Miss Murray to let you have as many girls as you desire. Dr. Dillon will help you in making any mixture to help eradicate the bed bugs. This must be attended to right away. I wish to have the buildings cleaned 225
