To Collis Potter Huntington [Tuskegee, Ala.] June ~ t~ 8943 Dear Sir: There have been only a few times in the history of this institution when I have had to ask of any one what I now ask of you. We have obligations due to various persons in not very large amounts that aggregate taboo. These amounts are troublesome and I do not want to attempt to carry them through the summer in their present shape. Is it possible for you to lend us this amount with interest to be returned in 4 months at the rate of $300 per month. As I shall be in the North collecting money during the summer I can easily return $300 each month. I can give you my personal note for the debt. Yours truly Booker T. ~~
