Miss Alice C. Fletcher
Fort Randall Dakota

Dear Madam,

In vier of the large interests involved in the selection of proper pupils for the school and also the welfare of the returned students who may not come back to us this fall whom I might by my own personal counsel and my efforts in their behalf with the agent, better establish among their people.  I have concluded it to be best to go to Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies after children myself. I have not yet determined just the date but I hope to hear from you immediately from Ft. Randall, and will now say that you may limit your effort to the Sitting Bull and Omaha children.  Should you find it too difficult to get your Sitting Bull and Omaha children together, you may leave the Sitting Bull children to me to look after.
Remember that I am to pay for the transportation
