The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers Conference is it is organised & worked by us purely. We are receiving slight opposition from ''The Aborigines Protection Society'' —(keep this to yourself as yet) but despite it many distinguished friends have signified their intention to be with us. ''We must do for ourselves in order to demand and ultimately gain the respect of the other races.'' With best regards to Mrs Washington, Believe me, Yours truly H. S. Williams Wrote this at the above place, to catch post we are holding all meetings at ~ Palace Chambers. ALS Con. 187 BTW Papers DLC. To J. E. MacBraclyt ''Tuskegee, Ala.] July 3, Too My dear Sir: My attention has just been called to your book, ''A New Negro for a New Century.''2 I was very glad to be of some assistance to you in the way of counsel, etc. in connection with its publication, but I do not remember to have authorized you to use my picture on first page of cover nor to publish my name in connection with the matter which I wrote for you. On the contrary my remembrance is that I advised that it would not be possible for me to grant the latter matter even if I promised as to the first. If you will be kind enough to send me a copy of letter granting such permission I shall be most grateful. The book as re-printed shows up well, but I find myself represented as the author of it on your cover when of course this is not true. It was also understood by me that I was to contribute ~~ pages to your publication at the rate of $3 a page. I notice, however, that the matter when set up makes 72 pages. I understood that I should hear from you again as soon as you set the matter up as to the balance of matter if it was accepted and printed by you. Yours very truly, l [Booker T. Washington] 57o
