Date
August 30, 1902

Kate Bowersox writes to Richard Henry Pratt discussing her feelings regarding her employment situation. Bowersox was previously offered the role of Principal by Pratt, but this was denied by the Bureau of Indian Affairs; subsequently, Pratt kept her in her previous role as a Normal teacher and assigned her additional responsibilities for additional compensation. Bowersox discussed worries about how the other instructors would react to the situation, and how she hoped to still perform the work well.
