Possible Total Enrollment for the 1890-1891 School Year

Richard Henry Pratt responds to a prior conversation with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs regarding the number of students for the upcoming 1890-1891 school year. Pratt notes that it would likely be less than 75 students who will be returned home at the end of the school year leaving the school with 600 students and plans on securing 160 students from Montana.

Pratt then indicates the appropriation level will determine the number of students. If it remains at $80000 then the school would likely be at its limit. But if it is the proposed $100000 outside transportation then the school could enroll an additional 240 students for a total of 1000.
