The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers From lames Nathan Calloway Lome Togo W.A. Feb 3rd ~ got Dear Mr. Washington Your letter of Dec. 8th. reached us Jan. As. At the same time each of us received a copy of Southern Letter. These gave us great delight since we have not seers an American paper since Nov. 3rd. We had a rather pleasant trip out from Hamburg and reached our first point in Africa Dec. Both. This was Bissao a Portuguteise settlement about loo miles up the coast from Lome. Bissao is so miles up the Geba river and was at one time tad slave trading post. The natives in this colony are kept in their original state.

About half of this number were natives or native born. The debate was filled with words of wisdom and showed some statesmanship.

Manual labor is more dignified here than in other colonies. The masters work here. In the English Colonies we found the natives especially the boys quite improved in education but not inclined to manual labor. They seek to immitate their masters and become English Gentlemen. Lome, Togo was our first and only stop in German territory. Here the German exactness is in evidence. The natives are made 26
