WASHINGTON, Booker T. AUTOGRAPH QUOTE SIGNED (AQS). Tuskegee,  AL:
7  Dec. 1897. A fine quote--"Be too great to be little"--on a 6-1/2" x
8"  page  removed  from  an  autograph   album  SIGNED  and  dated  by
Washington  in Tuskegee. The verso bears an unknown signature as  does
the  top  of  the page that Washington has signed, but this  could  be
easily  removed or matted over. A wonderful display piece. Mild  aging
of paper. About Fine and an unusual form of Washington's autograph. 
                             $1500.00
