[Mason Pratt to Harry Chandler]

July 7, 1924.

Mr. Harry Chandler,
First & Broadway,
Los Angeles.

Dear Mr. Chandler:

Your letter of June 30th addressed to General Pratt has just reached me. It is evident you had not heard of Father's death which occurred three months ago. I wrote something for the associated press and made particular request that the Times get it, and so supposed you would see it.

Father was buried in Arlington and Mother who was a real soldier's wife through it all is now with my sister Mrs. Edgar M. Hawkins, 1350 Highland Ave., Rochester, N. Y. She will be back in Calif. in a few months and will make her home here.

I had not heard of the action of congress in conferring citizenship on the Indian. Your editorial comment I am sure would have been fully approved by my Father who has often expressed his appreciation of your interest in his work.

Yours sincerely,
