IT, but he must have from the way ]
saw him dishing up blood and blood
creme, and he says 4 got it now" It
took him about fifteen minutes to do
all he does, then he said he dressed it
up; then He said, "His temperature has
jumped now from 1903 to normal" I
don't know whether he meant normal
school or not. I don't know what he
was talking about. At any rate he
came back at night, opened it up and
had some more dressing and has been
dressing me tip and down ever since,
until 7 find that I am getting better.
While I am yet in bed, yet you need
not be surprised TO hear of me being
out next week.
This is indeed a wonderful institu-
ton, and just have been sleeping and
resting, and resting and sleeping; and
too, have been killing myself eating.
Last Sunday morning Mrs. Edith NJ.
Johnston sent me a whole bird unto
myself, and this Sunday morning 1
think Mrs. Kate Cover thought /
wanted to do some running, and ~
she sent me some rabbit, and into my
rabbit eternity it went.
I suppose It will be necessary for
Tuskegee to hold another Farmers
Conference for me, for I certainly
came here to one and / certainly have
not seen It yet, not any part Of It, but
that is the way we 60. There have
been some people died before in their
lives and never expect to die again.
During this stay at Tuskegee I have
been surrounded BY friends. / didn't
know I had 50 many. Banker Cover
has sent me all the ice cream I could
eat at one time, and Mrs. Booker T.
Washington has sent some daily. Now
then, I have another friend who is not
killed with beauty, but one Of the best
men You ever met, he has all this feed
ing business; he is w. T. Shehee, and
he has stood ready to furnish me with
all the eats was old enough to eat
and the doctor would let me eat, but
they had me on spoon yictuals for
while and now can work on knife
and fork victuals.
Bishop John Hurst learned that |
was sick some where, and he started
in search and did not rest until he
found me and with check, and says
call on me for whatever you want.
Now then, here comes one Of these
quick yeast letters, called telespatch;
it was sent to Mr.. Holsey and said:
Received message that Col Charles
E. Stump is in hospital there sick.
Tender our sympathy and best wishes
and see that the very best attention is
given him. Our race has no other
man to fiji his place -spaulding and
Avery.
I think all the people have said nice
things.
I regret very much that I shall not
be able to tell you about the meeting
Of the Bishops Council in Whining
ton, N. @, but then you will hear
about it and I hope to 60 with them in
June to Los Angeles, Cal.
I must pause long enough to say
good bye and I hope it is not good bye
nor farewell to the Honorable Marcus
Carney. I note that the Supreme
Court Of Appeals declared that he
must serve the Federal Government
for while. I don't know what the
trouble is; something about the Black
Star. don't see why a fellow wants
to change the stars to black anyhow.
This black business is awfully full Of
prejudice and it makes trouble. "a
man born on the black Of the moon
IS bound to see lots of. trouble. Don't
know what the moon was doing when
I was born, therefore amt lost any
trouble and I am not looking for one.
n simply say I pray for the good
Brother Garvey may the good Lord
go with thee wherever you may land.
Well We have been making men, big
men, little men; some men too big to
be little, and some men too little to
be big. I used to think that ali
had to do was to put on my fathers
boots and wake up a man. I put them
on, that was all. I could not even fiji
them. There are some men who feel
all I want to do is to get in big Job,
but they have only thinble heads and
their heads viii never measure up 70
their jobs That kind Of thing Is 90
ing on right now and they win drop
where they belong in time. I guess you
want to know what / am talking
about; that Is my business, not yours.
