Dispute Regarding an Order for Outline Maps of Africa

Carlisle Indian School Superintendent Oscar H. Lipps returns a voucher to Chicago Indian Supplies Warehouse Superintendent Frank Sorenson because Sorenson sent him "50 pads, Individual Outline Maps of Africa," which he didn't ask for. Sorenson tells Lipps that Washington told him to send the pads to Carlisle, so if he has a problem, he should write to Washington. 

Lipps informs the Commissioner of Indian Affairs about the situation and tells him that there is no record of ordering the maps on their Annual Estimate. Assistant Commissioner E. B. Meritt informs Lipps that on their Office copy of Carlisle's Annual Estimate, there is a request for the pads.
