The BOOKER T . WAS HINGTON Papers ~ Gracie Penney, seven-year-old daughter of Edgar J. Penney, Tuskegee's chaplain. 2 Horace Penney, nine-yearmld son of Edgar J. Penney. From Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry Asheville, No. Ca. ~ 0 July 93 Dear Sir Your recollection of the increased appropriation is accepted as final and we shall expect such results in Normal and Industrial work as to justify the enlargement. So much of what is done in some of the Schools along these lines is so superficial and unsatisfactory, except in individual cases, that I sometimes fear the Slater money is failing to do the good it ought. We want to publish a monograph giving the history of negro education in the South from 18 to 1893, and it is necessary to have papers from each State showing what has been done by the State, by denominations, by individuals. The material thus collected will be edited or classified and arranged into a single paper. Dr Cravath of Fisk in May published an article in a Tenn. Nashville, paper, which is just what I seek. It was historical, giving verifiable facts and not speculations and opinions. I want you to prepare me such a paper, concise and clear, or get some one to do it by the first of September or October. I have the promise of such papers from Va. No. Ca. Geo. Miss. and La. It is very probable that you have already in possession most of the clata. Yours truly J. L. M. Curry ALS Con. 6 BTW Papers ATT. Original destroyed. To Henry Demarest Lloyd Tuskegee, Ala., July 29 1893 Dear Sir: Your letter of July ~5 notifying me that you will expect me to speak Sept ~ on ''The Progress of the Negroes As Free Laborers'' 354
