Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

Coleman Concord, N.C., June 18 1896 Dear sir: This will inform you that we have decided to erect a Cotton Mill at Concord, N.C. to be operated by colored laborers. The books have been open for subscriptions only a very short time and shows upwards of the amount of $~o,ooo, already subscribed, with a steady increase and a bright future. One southern white man subscribed ~ ~ shares of Woo. each and the citizens generally are manifesting great interest and subscribing liberally. We have bargained for a site of ~ oo acres of very desirable land. We now propose to introduce the subject to the friends abroad for their consideration and support. Knowing you as we do to be a man of worth, talent and influence and one who is interested in the industrial development of the race, we hope that you will help by influencing those around you and by sending us your subscription, not as a donation but as stockholder. Investments in the enterprise would within a short time pay ~5 to no per cent dividend. We are operating a colored Building & Loan Association in connection. One hundred Dollars is a share. Subscriptions to this may be paid in monthly instalments of $~.oo per share in advance, or as/~oo weekly per share in advance. This is also In a progressive state.
