When I went back to the school I went in the same trade or shop. I went to learn the trade of printer that I might be able to start a trade out there. But, friend, don’t think that I did not do anything in the evenings of my vacation. Every Tuesdays and Fridays Rev. J. J. Gravatt and Rev. Mayor use to come over to the Indian Cottage, and there we would meet with them, read the bible and prayed with them, taught us about God, I learned many things from them. They are good friends toward the red men, for they want them to know something about God and have faith in him. They are doing this yet. I was glad when I saw some teachers here for I was ready to study. I know it is my duty to study and I always try and have good lessons. I work two days every week. There are more students in school this term than there were when I first come here. I hope I will learn all I can while here that I might be able to teach my own people. I am getting along well in this school, I like the colored students for they help us how to talk English. I am very glad that some white people thinks that Indians can learn, I know some thinks they can not learn, and thinks that it is no use for them to come to a good school like this; if the old Indians had been educated like the old white people, we would have been even in schools. The Government have just started schools for Indians. When these Indians at Hampton first came here, they did not know a word of English, they were dressed in Indians’ cloths; but now they have cloths like white people and they can read, cipher, and spell, and we are learning how to work just as well as studying books; we are getting along very nicely in our studys. Dear friends, I am glad that you are helping me in school though I am an Indian, which some people say that they can not learn anything. I have learned here that we can learn though we were not raised in talking the English language. I will now close, thanking you for what you have done for me. Yours respectfully, JAS. R.
