One by one, those who were the first to assist my race to freedom and education pass away, but they leave the world richer and better for having lived. No one could spend five minutes in the presence of Mrs. Stearns without being made a better man or woman. Booker T. Washington Boston Transcript, Dec. a, egos, 8. . . From Charles Hallocki Jersey City, Dec a, egos Dear Sir: Does Brer Washington know that a colored man (negro) is on the Peary Polar Expedition. He has been with that intrepid explorer since cage, and is pronounced a ''first class man'' by his chief. Now, who would have thought of an African son of the South going up to the North Pole, or have imagined that he could stand the cold? Why, it beats Hannibal crossing the Alps. So, the above adds another laurel to the colored man's modern winnings. As I wrote you once last year, he makes a splendid follower to a competent leader. He bends readily to mental superiority. I would like to have the fact I mention about Peary more widely known. The colored mans name is Matthew Hanson.2 I shall be in Mobile by the end of this month, and am booked for a visit with Pres't Woodward of Birmingham Iron Company, later on. En route I mean to look in on your Tuskegee Institute, and will lecture to your students, if you care to have me do so, on my experience with the James City (N.C.) Negro colony during 89~-~. I could give some helpful suggestions, I know. I am to be a guest of the Mobile Steamship men, Murray? Wheeler & Co., and the City Board of Trade. They want a magazine article written on their new boom. So, RR gives me trans1 Oration. Yours truly Chas. Hallock ALS Con. Con BTW Papers DLC. 335
