Letter Discussing Postage Stamps Used by Students

Date
October 16, 1879

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Ezra E. Hayt's suggests that letters sent by the children cannot be classed under the head of official correspondence, and therefore those letters should not use "official" stamps." Hayt does encourage letter writing and tells Pratt to provide an estimate for the purchase of U.S. postage stamps.
