Letter from Commissioner of Indian Affairs Ezra A. Hayt to Indian Agent M. B. Kent at the Great Nemaha Agency that authorized the selection of "6 or 7 promising children" to undergo health screenings and to be brought by Agent Kent to the Carlisle Indian School. Hayt stated that some recruits should be from the Sac & Fox Tribe and the Iowa Tribe as "they are especially in need of just such a stimulus to their interest in the education of their children." Hayt mentions that Kent should ensure he is not absent from the reservation during the spring farming season.
