OCTOBER · 1906 people got hold of the facts through the telegraph office. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpS Con. 3 BTW Papers DLC. ~ Jesse Max Barber. To Oswald Garrison VilIard Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. October I, 1906 Personal My dear Mr. Villard: ~ have received your telegram, also your letter. Since nothing can be decided at present concerning Mr. Kennan, I think it wise, perhaps, to let the whole matter remain in abeyance until I go to New York again. I am planning to be there to speak at the Afro-American Council on the ~ lath of this month, and, according to Mr. Kennan's letter, that will be ample time. I confess that I was surprised at the attitude which the Pinkerton people assumed regarding the Atlanta matter, and the fact that they impressed you in the same way convinces me that it would not be well to have them take the case. I do not quite understand them in this matter. I have worked with them in other matters and they have shown a great deal of interest. One other point while writing. Let me say that it is not safe for you to send me telegrams bearing upon Atlanta conditions. When in Atlanta a few days ago, I found that one of our leading colored men in that city had gotten into serious trouble through a telegram sent to New York by the telegraph authorities revealing the nature of his message. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLS Oswald Garrison Villard Papers MlI. A press copy is in Con. 34, BTW Papers, DLC. 8
