User-Contributed Transcription preprinted Rev. A. G. Murray, Lock Box 83. PAWNEE MISSION. PAWNEE, OKLA., /preprinted May 20 1902Dr. Carlos Montezuma. Chicago.Dear Sir, I have read your article in the Red Man. And recently read in the ? of your views. I have been in the Indian work for eight years. For four years I was in a reservation (The Osage). The past three years among all other Indians (the Pawnees). For five years I have been pleading for [unclear] and common school, instead of the boarding school. THree years ago, I pointed out as best I could the curse the boarding school was becoming to these allotted Indians to the last? of the [unclear] association. I urged the same a year later upon the honorable Commissioner of Indian affairs. But weather did Mr. [unclear] or Mr.Jones accept my conclusions that it would be betternto have the Indian children in the common schools. Thank God, both have come to this view in theory since. But in practice we still have the old regimes, the Indian agent going out with his henchmen, and caralling? the Indian children in the boarding school, from 4 yrs old and upward.
