The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers From John Henry Washington [Tuskegee, Ala.] March gth, 1894 Mr. B. T. Washington: After noticing for several days I found out whose chickens they are that still stay around on the grounds, doing damage to whatever is planted. Mr. J. B. Washington's and Mr. l. N. Calloway's chickens are out and stay, nearly all the time, on the rye. Mr. Penney keep his up, as a rule, until 3 o'clock and then turn them out, some days there are out all day, as was the case last week. Mr. Young's are out quite often; also Mr. Logan's turkeys still come over into Mr. Greene'si onion patch occasionally. There are a few chickens out that no one will own. Mr. Greene and I have asked different ones about them and cannot find the owner. I will have some of the boys to catch them, and I will send them to the Teachers Home to be used. Mr. Hamilton's and my chickens, I will state, have not been put up, but they do not come on the school grounds on account of the fence. We have taught them more than two years ago to roam in the woods back of our place, which they do now. I think it well for you to give diffinite orders regarding these chickens before you leave.
