Miss Nora Morgan,
Cloquet, Minn.

Dear Miss Morgan :-

I will take Mattie Miller and give her the best opportunities Carlisle offers for learning to teach, and I have no doubt from what you say she can pass into the Indian service as a competent teacher in a couple of years. We shall be closing about the 18th of June to begin the first of September. She need not be here before that time unless there is some special reason, but I will provide a ticket whenever you indicate.

Glad to hear from you again and to know of your continued interest in the Indian.

Dear Mrs. Sullivan:

The conduct of the stowaway Forte Simon, Julie Fernandez, is such that I am satisfied we must be permanently discharged. As you were the last instrument in persuading Dr. Thompson to bring him here, I shall look to you straightforward to help me get rid of him. Should it be possible for you to get him returned to Forte Simon?

Dear Sir :-

Your letter of the 17th came into my hands yesterday and I
had small package of printed material addressed to you at once, con-
taining copies of several addresses, information about the school,
etc. I trust it reaches you in time to be of service in the debate
you take part in.

Dear Howard :-

Your arrangement for Mrs. Pratt and myself is very satisfactory indeed, and although we shall have company at that time and it will be difficult for both of us to leave we intend to be with you Mr. Stevick and Marion and their seven children are coming to visit us and will be here all the month of June.

What are you proposing to do after graduation ? If you would like to teach for a time and come to Carlsle I will tell you now that I have a place for you. I might have to start you at $540, but could lift you up soon to $800 and possibly could give you that at the beginning. That would have to be determined somewhat by the changes here. Please let me know whether you have any notion of accepting.

Faithfully your friend,

Dear Howard :-

What are you proposing to do after graduation ? If you would like to teach for a time and come to Carlisle I will tell you now that I have a place for you. I might have to start you at $540, but could lift you up soon to $600 and possibly could give you that at the beginning. That would have to be determined somewhat by the changes here. Please let me know whether you have any notion of accepting.

My dear Sir :-

Referring to your letter of the 18th, I have to advise you
that there appears to be something in the treaty agreements with the
Five Civilized Tribes which prevents their admission here. I broached
the subject sometime ago to the Commissioner, suggesting that condi-
tions had changed now and new treaties were being made, and that the
embargo might be removed; but he did not seem to think so, because
the Government has made large appropriations and has special school
forces among those Indians.

My dear Selina,

I have written to thanks to Dr. Musson for her kind care of
you during your illness. It is a great relief to me to know you have
recovered, and I trust the trouble may not recur.

Mrs. Pratt and Richenda were several days in the city, but Mrs.
Pratt was so sick there and could not get about after the first
day. I was there a day and then went on to New York, but returned on
Sunday. There are so many things to be attended to here that I did
not get over to the Founders' Day exercises at Girard. Marion and
her seven children are coming to visit us in June. Mason's children
have the whooping cough, so thatabel and the new baby are over here.

With kind regards from us all,

Faithfully your friend,

Box 416,
Carlisle, Pa.

My dear Sirs,

I respond to yours of the 17th in regard to the fifteen year-
to-Rican boys, I have to advise you that the party, nine girls and
five boys, arrived Monday night. As they have just entered the school
and we know very little about them except that they came well reac-
mended and forwarded by Dr. Brumbaugh, Commissioner of Education for
Porto Rico, as selected pupils, I have no information of a personal
character that would aid you. We have received several small parties
and five or six more are yet to come to complete the total of forty
authorized. When all are here we intend to have a photograph taken
and I shall very cheerfully send you one, but it may be some weeks be-
fore I can do that. They come from the schools in different sections
of the Island, and are sent here to become English-speaking Americans
and made into useful helpers in Porto Rico. These young people have
come to us because four brought to the United States by our returning
Pennsylvania groups were placed here for education and training. The
interest that grew up on their account led to solicitations from Per-
to Rico to take others. Having the authority of the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, I agreed to increase the party to ten. Five were sent
in the fall direct from the Island, and another by an American teacher
to his home in Pennsylvania and then to Carlisle. The numerous appeals
arising from these admissions caused the question to be again submit-

ted to the Tubian Bureau. Mr. Jones, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, authorized the admission of thirty more, making forty in all. Dr. Brumbaugh, Commissioner of Education for Porto Rico, writes that the party which arrived here Monday night was escorted to the transport by four hundred school children of San Juan, bearing flags and cheering for Carlisle and the United States.

When the children have learned sufficient English they will be put into the public and other schools to associate directly with our Anglo-Saxon children. Commissioner Brumbaugh writes that appeals are so numerous he could easily send five hundred children to Carlisle.
