MISS S.W. YOUNG,

1844 CENTENNIAL AVENUE,

PHILADELPHIA, PA.,

DEAR MADAM:-

WHEN I RECEIVED YOUR LETTER IN REGARD TO MARY TYNDALL
I HAD RECEIVED ONE FROM MISS FLETCHER, WRITTEN FROM COLUM-
BUS OHIO, WHERE SHE HAD TARRIED A DAY ON HER WAY WEST
IN WHICH SHE STATED SHE HOPED TO GET MARY UNDER THE CARE OF
A FRIEND AT THAT POINT,

AS THE GIRL IS A SPECIAL PROTEGE OF MISS FLETCHER, I
FEEL THAT SHE HAD BETTER DETERMINE THE MATTER OF HER LO-
ATION, AND SO HAVE REFERRED YOUR LETTER TO HER.

SHE IS NOW AT THE OMAHA AGENCY, IN NEBRASKA, AND IT
WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO GET A REPLY, UPON RECEIPT OF THAT
I WILL INFORM YOU OF HER DETERMINATION.

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED OR REPRODUCED WITHOUT PERMISSION OF
THE YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY, NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.

GENTLEMEN:-

ON OPENING THE THREE REAMS OF PAPER SENT ME RECENTLY,
I FIND THAT IT IS NOT WHAT I WANT.

IF YOU SEND ME A SAMPLE OF WHAT I DESIRE, AND THOUGHT A SAM-
PLE WAS INCLOSED IN MY ORDER.

I BOUGHT A REAM OF IT ON MY RECENT VISIT TO YOUR HILLS.
BE KIND ENOUGH TO INFORM ME WHAT I SHALL DO WITH THE THREE
REAMS OF RULED HALF SHEETS, SENT,

IF I HAD NOT A LARGE STOCK OF THAT KIND ON HANDS, SUP-
PLIED BY GOVERNMENT, I WOULD KEEP IT.

VERY TRULY YOURS,

CAPT. & SUPT.

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 6 th inst: received. I will send you,
Michael Burns, an Apache boy, to-morrow, via; Harrisburg, Pitts-
burg and Wheeling, in train leaving Harrisburg at 3-15 P. M.

You will find that Michael speaks English very well,
and is a stout young man. He has had rather a singular experi-
ence. He was captured when young, and was eight years with the
army. He is quite a seeker after knowledge, and sometimes a lit-
tle wise. He comes to you with the expectation of remaining a
year, and attend school during the Winter.

I trust he will prove satisfactory. If you drop me a line
about him, at the last of each month, I would like it.
