The Office of the Board of Indian Commissioners (a committee created by Congress to advise the federal government on Native American policy and who supervised the delivery of supplies to Indian agencies) sent this letter to James Henderson, superintendent of the Cherokee Indian School in Cherokee, North Carolina. The letter asks Superintendent Henderson for assistance in distributing copies of letters to Indian School staff in order to gather information to present to Congress to get additional Indian School Program funding. Superintendent Henderson responded with information on the staff salaries and amount of time spent working at the Indian School.
