The page presentation framework of the Booker T. 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.

The BOOKER T. WAS HINGTON Papers take advice, and for this reason he does not secure the hearty co-operation of the people in the vicinity of Kowaliga, to say nothing of those who have had opportunity of a larger experience than he has. I told Mr. Calloway a few days ago when he was here, that the board of trustees ought to be called together regularly and a report made, so that everything would be done in a business and systematic way. As yet there has been no such meeting. Mr. Benson likes to travel about from place to place, and I am sure a goad portion of what the school receives is spent in this way. I would not for the present wish for you to speak to him about these weak points. It may be that later on he will be cured, but as you are one of the trustees I thought it well to let you know my feelings. I wish very much you could have been at Hampton at their Commeneement. It was in every way an excellent anniversary, and you would have enjoyed it. We have just closed our year, and we had a very interesting eommencement season. Under separate cover I send you a marked copy of the Montgomery Advertiser which contains an account of it. Mrs. Washington and the children wish to be remembered to you. I hope it will not be long before we shall see you at Tuskegee again. Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington TLS Emily Howland Papers NN-Sc. From Samuel S. Gilson Pittsburgh, Pa., June fist 98 My Dear Bro. Your letter of May lath is just received. I only returned from the General Assembly last night. I am sure you did right to tell me what you have, and I shall use it to help you in your work. It was high time to stop the ''Unitarian'' rumor. When you are in Pittsburg come and see me.
