Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Alaska Division, <br> Washington, D. C., March 28, 1901. <br><br> Rev. R. G. McNiece, D. D., <br> #1248 Blaine Avenue, <br> Salt Lake City, Utah. <br><br> My dear Doctor: <br> I enclose you a copy of a letter from Doctor Thompson concerning the Collegiate Institute. In the conversation General Eaton had with Doctor Thompson recently he suggested that we just let the matter run for the present, very much in accordance with the tone of the enclosed letter. I have not had an opportunity of conferring with General Eaton on the subject but on first reading it seems that this arrangement might answer very well. <br> I expect to be in Salt Lake somewhere about the 20th of April. As soon as I can definitely determine, I will write you in order that the trustees may be called together if they desire an interview. The day that I am in Salt Lake I hope that you will arrange to give your classes a holiday so that you and I can have full time for conference. <br> Very truly yours, <br> Sheldon Jackson* <br> General Agent of Education in Alaska. <br><br><br> * handwritten in the original document <br><br>
