Request to Delay Returning 12 Cheyenne Students Home

Richard Henry Pratt seeks guidance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding whether or not to return 12 members of the Cheyenne Nation to their home. Pratt references the Cheyenne Agent has written about unfavorable conditions at the Agency and that he believes it unwise to return the students at the time despite all of them having already stayed one year beyond their enrollment period. He notes that only two students are eager to return.
