| Item Description | Thomas L. Riggs writes to Anna Riggs (sister) on October 3, 1885 to ask if she would supervise and teach the women of the Oahe mission on a permanent basis. He begins by discussing H.E.W.’s likely move to Washington to pursue journalism and literature. Before broaching the topic of Anna moving to the Oahe Mission, Thomas writes about the need the mission has for a sewing instructor. Mrs. Collins, the previous teacher, has a young family and is not returning. He comments that while there is a guaranteed room at the mission the rest of the expenses and wages are not yet firmly established. |
