Tekakwitha Indian Mission
Sisseton, South Dakota
April 25th, 1952

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Seely:
Thank you very kindly for your donation of 10 dollars for my little Indians.

You’rs is the first invitation that was ever extended to one of our papooses to come and spend the vacation some where. We have a few little boys and girls who have no one at all interested, whether they live or die or come and go. I would send a little boy of six years or older or a little girl what ever you prefer. These Indian children are very little trouble, especially the one I have in mind.
If you really mean it, I will see that we get him ready; you may have him any time you desire. I am not making any inquiries about you, because it takes a good person to make an offer as you did.
Please. Let me know.

With kindest regards,
Father Pohlen
