Washington writes to Kaine to forward a first day issue stamp promised in an earlier letter (see GLC05508.255.01). Her brother, Booker T. Washington, Jr., has been in the hospital and is about to be released. He is still weak and jobless, however, and Washington comments, "the school's attitude has been most unfriendly to us all, since my father's death. It is truly a tragic situation for us all." Includes first day issue stamp and envelope cancelled at Tuskegee (see GLC05508.255.03).
