Mr. J. W. Marsh, Pacific University<br/><br/>Dear Sir<br/>I have been thinking of trying to get Peter Sandup [i.e. Stanup] an Indian an Education, he desires to be Educated so he can preach to his people but he has no means. And his family will have to be provided for while he is at school. I have concluded to provide for his family, myself, and we supposed he could probably get work for his board and we will have to raise his tuition and books somehow. I wish you would do all you can towards securing him work for his board. I thought I would write and let you know his exact circumstances. So you would see the necessity of doing what you could to confer a favor on this much abused race of people.<br/><br/>Yours respectfully,<br/>A.J. Baker

Mr. J. W. Marsh, Pacific University

Dear Sir
I have been thinking of trying to get Peter Sandup [i.e. Stanup] an Indian an Education, he desires to be Educated so he can preach to his people but he has no means. And his family will have to be provided for while he is at school. I have concluded to provide for his family, myself, and we supposed he could probably get work for his board and we will have to raise his tuition and books somehow. I wish you would do all you can towards securing him work for his board. I thought I would write and let you know his exact circumstances. So you would see the necessity of doing what you could to confer a favor on this much abused race of people.

Yours respectfully,
A.J. Baker
