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.

JANUARY 1 goo To Timothy Thomas Fortune Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 2, Moo Dear Mr. Fortune: Enclosed I send an article which I thought you might be able to get into the Transcript in the form of an editorial.'' Do not use my name in connection with it to anybody. If you can get Mr. Clement to print it as coming from you I think it will do good. I can scatter the papers pretty well in the South. Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington TLS Con. ~7z BOW Papers DLC. ~ See An Item from the Boston Transcript, JJan. 6, Moo, below. To Timothy Thomas Fortune Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 3, Loo Dear Mr. Fortune: I am very glad to have your last letter written from Washington. The more I think of it the more I am inclined to favor the Heath scheme and I want to do whatever I can to help it forward. I have written to-day to Prof. Wright regarding it. If you will keep me informed I shall be very glad to assist in the matter. I cannot understand some of our people. Prof. Grisham in Kansas City has been making and is making a desperate effort to secure money from the City to establish an Industrial School in connection with his work. How a man can favor a thing and oppose it at the same time is past my understanding. I saw the Associated Press dispatch to which you refer in reference to the Virginia Superintendent's report, but I have not seen the report in full and I cannot glean from the dispatch whether he favors my views or opposes them. I am very glad to know that Mrs. Fortune has gone to Jacksonville; if she could come by here on her return North Mrs. Washington would be very glad indeed to have her do so. We have the opening of our Trades' Building next week and shall be very busy 395
