TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, May 19, 1904. Washington sends regrets. In part: “I am sorry that it does not seem possible for me to be with your Association August tenth, but my plans for the summer, though not definitely arranged, seem to make it unwise for me to take on additional engagements just at this time.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with usual folds and a hint of subtle soiling. R&R COA.
