Henry Tatiyopa to Alice Mary Longfellow, 16 December 1896
Manuscript letter
[printed letterhead: Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute]
Hampton, Va., December 16 1896
Dear Friend,--
I have never written to you before for these [sic] is my first year in Hampton. My home is in Crow Creek, South Dakota. I have never been out east before I came to this place and its quite different from my home out west. I like this school very much. There are two or three houses that have been built since I have been here and one of them is in the big trade school building which was open last month on the 19th of Nov. There were about twenty gentle men who came here to speak on that day in the trade school building and then some of them spoke in the gymna-[p. 2]- sium in the evening and some in the church. On Friday some more gentle men and ladies came over from Norfolk to see the trade school building too.
They make speeches in the church. The colored boys fixing up the base ball ground for Thanksgiving day, the night schools boys and the day schools are going to play foot ball.
I am in the A. Prepar class now. I study Frye's complete Geography, Arithmetic, reading and language. We thank you for the kindness to the Indian.
From your friend,
Henry Tatiyopa.
