Treaty Funds Can Be Used to Send Students to Carlisle

Richard Henry Pratt responds to the Office of Indian Affairs letter informing him that the treaty funds of the Crow, Blackfeet, Fort Peck, and Fort Belknap agencies can be used in the transportation of students to the Carlisle Indian School. Pratt notes that 100 students drawn equally from each agency would likely cost $6,000.

Pratt additionally asks for the Office to send a letter directing the agencies informing them of the various characteristics of the students to send to Carlisle.
