The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers by The Macmillan Company: it is, I suppose, the most important book on the subject which has been written. We are very anxious to have you review it for our columns over your own name, and we should be glad to give you any space you want - from one to two thousand words, or even Tonger.3 Any word from you on this whole question would be read with the deepest interest by our readers, and would be extremely valuable. May I send you the book? Of course the usual check would be sent on receipt of the review. May I tell you how profoundly interested we are in your autobiography, and how glad we are that it came in our way to print it. It is in my opinion one of the most important human document which has come to light in this part of the world for many years. Yours sincerely, H. W. Mabie TLSr Con. zo4 BTW Papers DLC. ~ Hamilton Wright Mabie (~845?-~9~6) was an editor of the Christian Union (re'' named Outlook in 1893) from 1879 to 19~6. 2 William Hannibal Thomas. 3 See A Book Review in Outlook, Mar. so, egos, below. From Edgar Gardner Murphy Montgomery, Alabama. January ~ ~ th, ~ go ~ Dear Mr. Washington: The fate of the Conferences has been somewhat in the balance, but at the last meeting of the executive committee the program committee was unanimously ordered to go ahead; and we will have it if we can get the men we want (and I do not want a Conference that would be made up of inferior menfor that is a kind of failure we could not live down). We have had powerful forces against us, for there are many men who want no open discussion of the subject at all; but the way is row clear. The program (as projected) includes men like St. Clair McElway,2 of the Brooklyn Eagle; Mr. Andrew Carnegie;3 Mr. McIver;4 Gov. Sayers; Gov. Samford; Senator D. B. Hills Of New York; Clark Howell; and possibly Mr. Mabie of the Outlook. There will be no speeches like those of Barringer and Graves; and perhaps no such strong advocacy of your cause as the speech of Dr. Curry; 4
