Date
December 20, 1879

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Ezra A. Hayt denies the request of American Horse to visit Washington DC and Carlisle (to see his children), citing concerns about the winter weather. Hayt says to W. McK. Heath (the recipient of the letter) that plans will be made for some of the members of the Oglala Sioux to visit Carlisle in the spring instead.
