SEPTEMBER · ~ 900 all through. I think that it is rough in some respects, but undoubtedly appeals to the colored people particularly, and it will do them a world of good if they will read it. It is not as good as you can do, and some of the illustrations are a little rough. I thank you very much for the copy which you sent me, and shall prize it highly. Very truly yours, W H Baldwin Jr TLS Con. 7 BTW Papers DLC. To Hollis Burke Frissell Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 29, 1900 Dear Dr. Frissell: I have a letter from Mr. Baldwin suggesting that we apply to Mr. tossup for money from the Slater Fund for which to pay the cost of making the exhibits in Montgomery, Atlanta and Birmingham. What do you think of the idea? Of course I would not apply unless Hampton would agree to apply for money in the same direction. I do not know how Dr. Curry would take it. It might be wiser to make the application through Dr. Curry in case we made it at all. We have got to do something in this part of the South to keep up the interest of the Southern white people in the common schools among our people and notwithstanding the fact that we have no money in sight for the purpose I think it is the proper thing under the circumstances for us to make the exhibit in the three Southern cities named and shall plan to do so. I think it important that we give more attention to the education of the white people in the South, in the direction of believing in Negro education. I want to see you or hear from you regarding the matter of public meetings in the North during the winter. I think it well that we arrange matters so that there shall be no conflict. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLS BTW Folder ViHaI. 645
