Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print.

The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers To Edward Augustine Benner [Tuskegee, Ala.] February 29, 1904 Dear Mr. Benner: I have just written Booker regarding his studies. I am sorry to see by the last report that he does not stand as high as in former reports except in his behavior and in his sloyd. I rather fear that on the whole his coming home for a vacation was not the best thing for him as far as his studies are concerned. I note, judging by his letters since he has been back in school, his mind is considerably on matters at Tuskegee. He found so much here to interest him that I fear he is thinking as much about matters here as about his books. I had a letter from him a few days ago telling me in ~letail all the repairs that ought to be made at our house; he macle a careful note of them while he was here. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. ~ BTW Papers DLC. To William Reuben Pettiford {Tuskegee, Ala.] February 19, 1904 Dear Dr. Pettiford: As a matter of fact, I do not know what day I was born upon. My family, however, follows the suggestion made sometime ago by a Sunday School at Rochester, N.Y., which, after reading my ''Up from Slavery,'' decided to recommend January fist as the proper date for celebration, and this has been done ever since. I am greatly obliged to you and the Negro Business League of Birmingham for its kindly interest in this matter. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. z93 BTW Papers DLC. 454
