I believe you can get rid of Mr Robbins. It will be a delicate task in some respects, but when you see the man, and judge for yourself, and can get at the facts of his habits and life here, I think you can induce him to quietly resign. I think too there would be no trouble in getting Mr McC. the nomination. Altho. Mr McC. is not a politician, he is a strong Republican, with a good Army record, and a stainless character, and it would go hard for politicians to throw him over. If however this change cant be made, you will find [[?]] may wish for [[?easy]] as regards these Indians and the school, for you cannot afford to lose him, and his deficiencies will have [[strikethrough]] in [[?]] way [[/strikethrough]] to be supplemented in some way. He would not stay here in any other position than Supt. however [[?was]] [[?]]. My dear friends I hope you will understand the sincere regard for you & your noble work which prompts me to send you this letter. You have trusted me and [[?]] and your Most cordial regard your friend Alice C. Fletcher.
