Transcriber’s Notes:

Corrected obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions. Inconsistent hyphenation retained due to the multiplicity of authors. Period spelling (including Spokan) retained.

“Steet” changed to “Street” on the inside cover. ([56 Reade Street])

Missing “a” added in “adopt” on page 66. ([adopt some such system of giving])

Missing space added between “weeks” and “in” on page 73. ([some weeks in Fisk University])

“Talledega” changed to “Talladega” in the [Winsted entry] on page 88.
