United States Indian Service, Puyallup Agency, April 7th, 1882.<br/>Prof. J. W. Marsh, Forest Grove, Or.<br/><br/>Dear Friend:<br/><br/>I know you would be willing to help me in my trying to procure a sufficient education to fit me for the work among [my] race. I ask you this favor, how much a week or month would be the cheapest place for board & lodging? I want to know the exact amount it would cost me for 9 months in school there. I would not be ready to go there till next fall. <br/><br/>Please answer soon and send me a copy of the School's catalogue and oblige. We are all well at present.<br/><br/>Please remember me kindly to Profs. Ferrin, and Lyman. <br/><br/>Yours in haste,<br/>P.C. Stanup<br/><br/>[Note in Marsh's writing:] Ans[wered]. About $200. Will probably give him his tuition.
