Here, Washington writes to Norton, transmitting the latest Tuskegee annual report. Washington's message reads, in full: "Kind Friend, Enclosed, I send you a copy of my last Annual Report to the Board of Trustees. I hope you will find time to at least glance it through. Our Financial Report is now in the press, and will be ready for distribution within a few weeks. Your truly, Booker T. Washington, Principal. To Prof. C.E. Norton. Cambridge, Mass."
