We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

He read that entire document to me, and I interrupted once or twice and asked him why he read that, why not make his accusation if he had any to make ; but he insisted upon reading that document.

And I was promised a hearing, which I never got. A few days later Swaab received the following letter (II, 823, fols. 3-4) : New York, January 3, 1911, Mr. Louis M. Swaab, 338 Spruce Street^ Philadeljjhia, Pa.
