W. Hastings to Senators Elmer Thomas and Will Rogers regarding the purchase of land for homeless Indians. Hastings suggests buying land in communities where Indians already live, providing 20 acres for 50-60 families to create a community center with a school and church. He recommends placing a man and woman in charge to supervise and advise the families on farming, health, and housework. Hastings emphasizes the importance of providing resources like books, clothing, and lunches to ensure regular attendance at the school.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
