Pratt Responds to Request to Return Festus Pelone

Richard Henry Pratt responds to an Office of Indian Affairs letter regarding a request to be returned home by Festus Pelone. Pratt includes a copy of Pelone's disciplinary record while at Carlisle and notes that his punishment of being on "no pay" is deserved. Because of the pattern of bad behavior, Pratt is willing to send Pelone home but wants to do so when he thinks it is best. 

A transcript of the handwritten "Record of Festus Pelone" in the file is included in the PDF below.
