Proposal to Use Annuity Funds of Esther Miller to Pay for Normal School

Richard Henry Pratt responds to an Office of Indian Affairs letter regarding Esther Miller and her annuity money. Pratt states that Miller has not heard from the Office of Indian Affairs but she would like to use her annuity money to attend a Normal School (Pratt recommends the Oswego Normal School). Pratt notes that he can manage the money for her and that while her funds are exhausted she may be draw from the General Appropriation or from friends.

A note at the top of the letter indicates that Office approves of the plan if legal and that Pratt would be a wise steward of the funds.
