Pratt Contests Objections to Use of Charity Fund

Richard Henry Pratt contests a letter from the Office of Indian Affairs which objects to his use of private funds to pay employee salaries. Pratt claims that the position of the Commissioner is not according to the law nor the position of Government. Pratt further states that he has used the charity fund throughout the history of the school in a similar manner to what is currently being opposed, and has been consistently praised for it by the Bureau.
