AUGUST · I 889 To Samuel Chapman Armstrong Fabyans fFabyan] N.H. Aug. ~ 9. '89 Dear Gen. Armstrong: Your check for $300 is rec'd and I am very thankful for it and shall see that it is returned at the time promised. We get before audiences of 50 to 300 every night and ~ am often surprised to find how much haranguing on the Southern Question they will stand. I am sure we reach people in this way that we would not otherwise. We always speak for Hampton, too. Yours faithfully Booker T. Washington ALS BTW Folder ViHaI. From George Washington Cable Northampton, Mass., Aug t30]th 1889 My dear Mr Washington: Before asking another favor of you, I must first thank you very heartily for your kindness in answering my inquiries concerning an exodus of colored people from Alabama. In the present instance I ask your help in securing reliable information concerning the crop-lien laws in Alabama. It would be of great value to' the good cause in which I secured your cooperation before, to have an account of the intention, operation and effects of these laws. Could you give this matter the benefit of your clown careful attention? If it is impossible for you to do so, can you tell me of some other person who could give me such a statement of the case as would stand before an intelligent or an unintelligent public. The statements must be so made to carry their own authentication with them. Yours truly G. W. Cable ALS Con. 92 BTW Papers DLC. 5
