Letter Discussing Sending Orphan from Mescalero Agency to Carlisle Indian School

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Ezra A. Hayt's response to a request from Indian Agent S. A. Russell from the Mescalero Agency in New Mexico about if Hayt could help find care for an orphaned boy at his agency. Hayt explains that the Carlisle Indian School had just recently opened and that the boy could attend the school for education provided he should be in good health, that he be willing to go to Carlisle, and that Russell can find anybody who can be responsible for his safe travel to the school. Hayt states that the boy's travel expenses will be covered by the Office, but the person who travels with the child to take him to Carlisle will not have their expenses covered.
