Descriptive Statement of young people being sent to the Carlisle Indian School from Rosebud Agency, as sent by the Rosebud Indian Agent Cicero Newell. 

E. Ballon writes to add additional students to the party to be sent to Carlisle. He writes that an interpreter would like to send his son along with another from the Shoshone Nation and had previously received permission from the Indian Agent. In addition, one father will only send his daughter if her brother accompanies her to Carlisle.

Richard Henry Pratt seeks the authority to return home Horace, Rufus, Morgan, and Austin due to poor health from consumption and scrofula. Although the handwritten letter indicates that the students were from Pine Ridge, they were actually from the Rosebud Agency.

Correspondence regarding statements made by Rev. John Roberts, missionary at the Shoshone Agency, regarding mortality of students from that reservation. Also included is a list of all students from the Agency sent to various schools including the Carlisle Indian School.
