United States Indian Service, Puyallup Agency, Aug. 1st, 1882 Prof. J. W. Marsh, Forest Grove, Or., Dear Friend: I have been encouraged by Capt. Wilkinson [the Indian School superintendent] about my boarding while in school next winter. He said, he can arrange it so that I can get my board at the Indian School. I have written to him about it, but for sure, please see him and tell him that I need his assistance whenever it is possible for him to do so. But if he cannot consistently do so, please find a place where I can work for my board. I am anxious to go through the academic course, yes through college, but I will have to take what I can get, even if it is only one [year] in the Academy [i.e. Tualatin Academy, a high school]. I feel free to ask you for all I have asked, because I know you. Please let me know about what time I should be there to enter the first term. You humble friend, P.C. Stanup · Forest Grove Indian School

Dear Friend:
I have been encouraged by Capt. Wilkinson [the Indian School superintendent] about my boarding while in school next winter. He said, he can arrange it so that I can get my board at the Indian School. I have written to him about it, but for sure, please see him and tell him that I need his assistance whenever it is possible for him to do so.

But if he cannot consistently do so, please find a place where I can work for my board. I am anxious to go through the academic course, yes through college, but I will have to take what I can get, even if it is only one [year] in the Academy [i.e. Tualatin Academy, a high school].

I feel free to ask you for all I have asked, because I know you.

Please let me know about what time I should be there to enter the first term. You humble friend,

P.C. Stanup
