Thompson, Susan

Susan Thompson requests from U.S. Congressman Thomas L. Bunting the return of her daughter Linnie Thompson from the Carlisle Indian School. Thompson states that her husband is on his death bed due to consumption and has expressed a desire to see his daughter before he dies. However, Richard Henry Pratt has refused to return Linnie home.

Simon and Susan Thompson request the Office of Indian Affairs to instruct Richard Henry Pratt to return their daughter Linnie Thompson (here Lennie Thompson) for the vacation period.

Richard Henry Pratt responds to a request for the return of Linnie Thompson (here Lennie Thompson) by noting that she was enrolled for a term of five years or until she graduated. In addition, after consulting with Linnie she has expressed a desire to remain at Carlisle.
