William A. Mercer informs the Office of Indian Affairs that John W. Funk upon reporting to the Carlisle Indian School as a blacksmith has departed without accepting the position. Mercer states that Funk expected an appointment in the quartermaster department of the Army. As a result, Mercer requests a blacksmith who has a good knowledge of wagon smithing and is a good horse shoer.
