Your letter of the o4 with your check for $200 came today and we are so very gateful for your generous gift. Some how Sept usually seems the hardest month for us financially. This ~ an exceptionally hard year in the South. There not much over a half of cotton crop made and the price is exceedingly low. The masses are in debt and there will be much suffering this winter. Notwithstanding this the colored people seem determined to secure an education and our school is more than full. I thank you very much for your suggestion about putting some thing in the Register. We shall be glad to use your gift as you direct, and it will do much good. The weather is very pleasant here just now. At some time I hope that you can come to see us again. It may interest you to know that Miss Murray and I are to be married Oct ~ 2. In this way both tof] us think that we can be more valuable to the cause to which we have dedicated our lives. Sincerely yours Booker T. Washington ALS Emily Howland Papers NIC. 265
