the Negro people whom God
trained at Hampton to take
up the work begn by Mister
Booker T. Washington

If you are able to honor
the day at Hampton on May
the 12th it will I feel
[?] be of interest to you to
glance over these pages
on the way down

[left margin]
May I express for myself my share of the profound
satisfaction which the Country has in knowing
that you are at the helm and that you mean
[?] war if possible.

I am with deep sympathy.

Very respectfully
George Foster Peabody

His Excellency
the Honorable Woodrow Wilson President
Washington, D. C.
