Thomas Metoxen Requests to Leave School or Receive Increased Pay

Date
June 17, 1892

Thomas A. Mextoxen inquires from Thomas J. Morgan why he is being forced to remain at the Carlisle Indian School despite graduating in February. Metoxen has discussed this with Pratt and is under the impression Pratt means to keep him there in order to perform with the band in Chicago. Metoxen states he is working full time now but for little pay and is willing to remain if his wages are increased to $12 a month.
