Blue Horse writes to Richard Henry Pratt regarding his son who is studying at the school, stating that his son can be sent home when he is skillful enough to carry out the trade he is learning. He also inquires about getting a one horse buggy.
Richard Henry Pratt responds to a statement from the Second Auditor of the Treasury in settlement of his accounts from the fourth quarter of 1884 to and including the fourth quarter of 1885. Pratt goes through a list of transportation costs that were disallowed due to a portion of the road being subsidized by bond.
Richard Henry Pratt forwards a copy of a letter from George LeRoy Brown, Acting U.S. Indian Agent for the Pine Ridge Agency, to the Office of Indian Affairs. In Brown's letter he provides an update and a character assessment on former Carlisle Indian School students he has met.
