Four Male Students Sent to Summer Camp to be Waiters and Play Baseball

Date
May 2 - July 21, 1916

Rabbi Abraham S. Anspacher, who conducts Kamp Kewamee in Lackawanna County in Pennsylvania, requests to employ four Carlisle Indian School students at the camp to be waiters and play baseball at the camp. Treasury Department Collector of Customs Dudley Field Malone vouches for Anspacher. Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs E. B. Meritt forwards Anspacher's letter to Carlisle Indian School Superintendent Oscar H. Lipps and states that he has no objection to the arrangement.

Lipps asks Anspacher a series of questions regarding the location of the camp, what he wants the students to do, when he wants them, what wages they would be paid, and how they would get to the camp. Lipps informs Meritt that he sent four male students to Anspacher's camp.
