| U.S. Indian Industrial School, Carlisle, Pa., June 13, 1885.
D.B. Dyer, U.S. Indian Agent, C&A Agency, Indian Territory. Dear Sir, The following students from your agency are entitled to return to their homes on account of expiration of the period for which they came: Lydia Big Nose, Jesse Spread Hands, Myra Cedar Grove & Cleaver Warden. These four are anxious to remain longer at the school, and it is my judgement they should. They are in good health and making satisfactory progress --- Casper Edson and Wm. Fletcher desire to return and come back in the fall. I should favor their doing so. Steve Williams says he wishes to return and help Mr. Vogt in the mission. Arnold Woolworth, Carl Matches, Kias Williams and Ernie Black wish to return and remain. They hope to get something to do. As Steve, Arnold and Kias are full grown men they can very properly take charge of their own future. Carl Matches and Ernie Black are still under age and might properly be held to school longer. Sarah Sitting Bull is reported by the school physician as having Scrofula and constitutional debility indicating that she had better be returned. I would be very glad to have your views in regard to these students as early as practicable. Those that return will be started from here after the 1st. Elkanah Dawson, Cheyenne, who came to us from your agancy, is also entitled to be returned: but his father is at Pine Ridge Agency and I will send him there. In regard to Clarence Powder Face, I enclose letter from Dr. Given, which speaks for itself. I do not seem to have any grounds to ask for his return. Very truly yours, /S/ R.H. Pratt, Capt. and Supt. The money is placed to Clarences credit and subject to Powder Face order. I mailed you a photo of your party taken last fall at Gettsburg. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O.G. Given to R.H. Pratt, June 13, 1885, School Physician Clarence Powder Face was "saturated with malaria" when he arrived at Carlisle Barracks, free of disease this year.

| Kias Williams, Cheyenne, has been going to Haskell
since he left Carlisle two years ago after a five years' course here. He
worked at the harness trade here but is now at tailoring. Immediately after
going home to Cheyenne Agency he did nothing special but visit around and
fell in with whiskely associates. He has ten ponies and eighteen head of
cattle, and owns a house of his own. He did not put on Indian dress. He
attended the Presbyterian church.
