Robert V. Belt, Assistant Commissioner of the Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs, writes to Richard Henry Pratt discussing the current status of the Indian Appropriations Bill, and funds allotted to supplement Pratt's military income while serving as superintendent at Carlisle. Belt urges Pratt to reconsider his threat to resign from his position at Carlisle if he was not named in the bill, noting that his supplementary income will be included despite the omission of his name.
