Date
October 11, 1912 - November 20, 1912

Carlisle Indian School Superintendent Moses Friedman encloses and endorses a request from Susie Poncho, a returned student and current resident of Cubero, New Mexico, for $75.45. The request is for her father, who is owed money for his services during the Apache Indian Raid of May and June, 1895. 

Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs F. H. Abbott receives the letter from Friedman and forwards it to the Secretary of the Interior two separate times. Abbott provides more information on the debt to Poncho's father, stating that he was part of the New Mexico Territory Militia and is owed the money under the Militia Law of 1880.
