Mr. William Mohawk,
Iroquois, New York.

Dear Sir :-

Replying to your letter of March 29th, Albert Jackson is in the country and should write home every month. Letters coming to the school for students who are in country homes, are forwarded to them. It is probable Albert addresses his letter to another member of the family, but he should also write occasionally to his sister. He is well, and Mr. B. F. Muschert of Penn Valley, Pa., with whom he is living, gives very good reports of him.

If his sister does not hear from him in a reasonable time,
please let me know.

Dear Madam:-

Your letter of April 1st., comes to hand this morning, and I have referred it to the Doctor for his report which I send you herewith. You will see that he states that Mary is getting along very well and that you have no need to worry. I am afraid that she writes you letters that give you wrong ideas in regard to her condition. Mr. Tallamy saw her for himself not a month ago. It is true that she has trouble with her eyes, but is being taken care of, and all is being done that a skilled physician can do. I am sure you may safely leave her in care of the Doctor and Nurse at this school, and as Doctor says, not worry yourself about her condition, nor believe all that you may hear unless written you by the Doctor or the school authorities.

Dear Sir:-

Complying with your request of April 3rd, I enclose you
herewith some pictures showing the harness and wagons that we make.
We can furnish a few of these to cash customers but for the last
two years, the Government has given us about all the orders we can
handle for Indian Agencies and schools in the west. In every case
of doing business outside of Government officials, cash with the
order will be required.

Nipe Bay, Gibara, Cuba.

My dear Maxcy :-

Your letter of March 24th is just to hand. It is good to hear from you again. I returned last Friday from a six weeks' siege of treatment in the army and navy hospital at Hot Springs, Ark. During my stay there I had you boys much in mind as well as others who have gone out into the world from Carlisle. From some I received letters telling of their plans. It is always a pleasure to hear direct, and it would have been very pleasant to have you with us at commencement. On account of my health I was forced to be away, but the exercises passed off very smoothly, and a class of thirty-nine received diplomas. Paul Tee, of the 8th Cavalry, was off on furlough at the time and came over from New York for a few days. Joseph LaFramboise, of the U. S. S. "Dolphin" was also present. Since Commencement promotions have been made as usual, and things are running on in the regular routine. The health of the school has been unusually good all the year, though we did have measles early in the winter. The band boys are practicing faithfully for a four weeks' engagement at the Buffalo Exposition in July and August. Our school will be represented by work from the schoolrooms and shops, and pictures and phonographic records of recitations have been taken by experts in those lines, for exhibition there.

Last week the first party of country boys left us, and yesterday the girls went. Tomorrow we have our first contest in baseball on our

Chief Thomas Williams,
Sanborn, New York.

My dear Sir :-

Your letters of March 19th and 21st in regard to Theodore
are before me. I find that Mr. Standing wrote during my absence in
reply to the first. Theodore's term will not expire till the summer
of 1902, and he is therefore not entitled to return home now. If you
refer to my letter last year, dated May 9th, in regard to your chil-
dren you will see that I said "One came in '96 and the other in '97;
so that another year must pass before either has a right to go home".
Your daughter, Lizzie, came in '96. Lizzie is at Ocean City, N. J.
and is getting on nicely. Theodore is at the school, is making good
progress, and should continue his education. Being now in the eighth
grade it should not take more than two years to finish and receive a
diploma.
