T. W. P., 2d

have a letter from the Indian office this morning asking me
in regard to E's fitness for such a position, based upon her
letter of application for the position. She does not seem
anxious to push her education to a higher point just now.
She seems, especially, to be against Metzger. Nothing would
bring her to want higher education quicker than a few months
at teaching.

Faithfully, your friend,

Good Bear,

My friend:-

I am going to let Paul go home only and expressly on the agreement with him that he return to Carlisle after he has made a visit. He will go home early in July and he must be back here in end of August. This is his purpose and it is the reason why I let him go home. He must be pushed forward to a higher education. He is a good boy and capable and he needs better education. You and I must give this to him. It makes no difference what kind of school you have at the agency, it is not the place for Paul. You will be greatly pleased with his improvement and it is necessary that he have more and we can give it to him here at Carlisle better than he can receive it at any other place. Paul himself agrees to this.
