Fort Apache Request for Carlisle Student as a Translator

Richard Henry Pratt responds to an Office of Indian Affairs letters regarding an inquiry from Lieutenant W. H. Bean regarding the need for an Apache translator for Fort Apache. Pratt notes that all of the Apache students have noted that while they have forgotten some of their language that they can likely pick it up again quickly. The students generally recommended Laban Locojim as the best student to become a translator. He ends by noting that due to the low amount remaining in his transportation fund that the military would have to cover the students return to Arizona.
