Request to Fumigate Mail from Reservations with Smallpox Outbreaks

Carlisle Indian School Superintendent Moses Friedman forwards and endorses thoughts from Visiting Physician A. R. Allen. Allen suggests that because smallpox is epidemic at many reservations, the school should be notified whenever an outbreak occurs so that they can fumigate letters coming from places affected by the disease to the school.

Second Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs C. F. Hauke informs Friedman that smallpox has subsided, and that the best defense against the disease is the successful vaccination of everyone at the school.
