The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers To William Burns Paterson ''Tuskegee, Ala.] June ~2 t~8923 Dear Sir: I said that I would write again regarding yours of May 8. I thought when I received your letter and still think that you will make a mistake if you have nothing to, do with the Association. In all I think we have held ~ ~ meetings. At lo of them there was nothing that was unpleasant to you. Is it fair to judge all the future by one meetings in view of the past? I do not believe that any one can do the best work in the State who fails to keep himself identified with such institutions. Yours truly Booker T. Washington ALpS Con. ~o6 BTW Papers DLC. ~ Alabama State Teachers' Association. 2 See the letter from J. D. Bibb, July 5, 189c, above. From Robert Wesley Taylor Pensacola, Fla., June ~4- '93 Dear Friend: Your letter of recent date was the greatest surprise imaginable. I have thoroughly considered the offer made to me and have decided to off-set my ideas of going to school next term, so as to comply with your request. As you know, Alma-Mater means nourishing Mother. From an intellectual stand-point I consider Tuskegee my mother so I am perfectly willing to act in the capacity of a child. You may inform me at your earliest convenience of the full particulars and I shall endeavor to be ready to answer whenever you call. Kindly inform me as to whether or not we will go to Chicago before the Fair closes as I am very anxious to go. If not I intend going before September. Your friend R. W. Taylor ALS Con. 6 BTW Papers ATT. Original destroyed. 352
