Need for Clarifying Information on Requested Supplies for Carlisle Indian School

Frank D. Karr, Superintendent of Warehouse, states that his sewing machine contractor E. J. Howard does not have the Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machine requested for the Carlisle Indian School and asks the Commissioner of Indian Affairs what he should do. He also asks for more information about a requested horse carriage and hose and recommends the fire buckets be made from rubber instead of leather.
