Jackson taught mathematics at Tuskegee during the 1897-98 school year and then became Tuskegee Negro Conference agent from 1898 to egos. From Timothy Thomas Fortune New York, Feb I, ~ 899 Dear Mr. Washington: Your letter of the with ult., dated at DeKalb, Ill. was received, and I am very glad to hear from you, as I had begun to get a shade uneasy over your silence. I agree with you that some good may result from our Boston campaign. From all I can hear from there a very healthy counter sentiment was created. Councilor Isaac Alleni was in here Monday and he took that view of it, and numbers of others. What they need most in Boston is somebody who will go ahead and do something. I am glad to say my gastritis is much better, but it gave me a fearful razzle for six days. I can't imagine what brought it on. 24
