Daniel W. White, the Department of the Interior Eye and Trachoma Expert, asks Carlisle Indian School Surgeon in Charge Dr. A. R. Allen to request, through Superintendent Friedman, to send White to Carlisle after the holidays. Allen forwards White's letter to Friedman. Friedman requests that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs send White to the school to help Allen deal with students' trachoma.

Assistant Commissioner F. H. Abbott asks the Education Division to prepare a detail so that White can be sent to Carlisle. Abbott then orders White to go to Carlisle after his leave of absence concludes.
