Cherokee Indians -- Government relations

Commercial correspondence

Teachers

United States. Office of Indian Affairs -- Officials and employees

In this letter of June 16, 1877, J. J. Newell writes to an unknown recipient (possibly James W. Terrell) regarding the progress of the “Cherokee Matters” in the Department of Indian Affairs. Newell explains three Commissioners investigated the Indian Office and Mr. Smith and Mr. Galpin have been suspended. He expects the commission will perform a full investigation to grant “all parties their just dues from the government” and reveal the fraud caused by Mr. Blunt and L. R. Welch. He also instructs this recipient on how to keep Mary Dorherty, a teacher at Old Mission school, employed for another year by making the request known to the board and forwarding it to the Indian Office.
