Walter S. Davis asks Congressman John H. Rothermel to influence the Carlisle Indian School for him because he would like to have "two of the trained servants" from the school, but the school's policy is to not send young women to cities the size of Reading, which is where Davis lives.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs R. G. Valentine forwards Davis' and Rothermel's correspondence to Superintendent Moses Friedman. Friedman informs Valentine that Rothermel had visited the Outing Office previously but that he would like to continue his policy of not sending female students to cities. He believes students will learn more and be better protected in rural homes where they're treated like members of the family. Valentine informs Rothermel that he supports Friedman's decision in the matter.
