Wilkinson letter discussing Indian Affairs and drills
No full textLetter dated September 14, 1879 from Capt. M. C. Wilkinson to Joseph W. Marsh.
Marsh was a professor at Pacific University and was functioning as its interim president at the time of this letter.
Wilkinson was the founder of the Forest Grove Indian School. He was a U.S. Army Officer who had formerly served as an aide-de-camp to General O.O. Howard. At the time of writing this letter, he had been granted a "special detail" assignment by the U.S. Army, which allowed him to serve for three years as a Instructor in Military Science at Pacific University. This role allowed him the time to open the Forest Grove Indian School under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs.
In this letter, Wilkinson asks Marsh to put him in contact regarding 'Indian Affairs' with Dr. George H. Atkinson, who was the Secretary of Pacific University's Board of Trustees. He is likely referring to discussions related to starting the Indian School in Forest Grove, which would open in February, 1880. Wilkinson mentions that he will soon be attending the wedding of General O.O. Howard's daughter, and thus will not be present at Pacific University for several days. Wilkinson provides a schedule for when he will next be in Forest Grove to teach military drills

He may be referring to discussions related to starting the Indian School in Forest Grove

Wilkinson letter on sending a telegram with Atkinson's support
No full textLetter dated November 13, 1879 from Capt. M. C. Wilkinson to Joseph W. Marsh. Marsh was a professor at Pacific University and was functioning as its interim president. Wilkinson was, at the time of writing this letter, serving as an aide-de-camp under General O.O. Howard with the U.S. Army Department of the Columbia, and also teaching military drills at Pacific University. Several months later, Wilkinson would begin working as the first superintendent of the Forest Grove Indian Training School, while concurrently serving as a professor of military science at Pacific University. In this letter, Wilkinson reports on sending a telegram after having consulted with Dr. Atkinson. Atkinson was the Secretary of Pacific University's Board of Trustees and was assisting with getting the Indian School started. Though this letter does not state to whom the telegram was sent, he may be referring to communications with the Office of the Secretary of the Interior about the Indian School.

Wilkinson letter on returning with two Native Alaskan chiefs
No full textLetter dated January 16, 1880 from Capt. M. C. Wilkinson to Joseph W. Marsh. Marsh was a professor at Pacific University and was functioning as its interim president. At the time of writing this letter, Wilkinson was preparing to open the Forest Grove Indian School where he would serve as its first superintendent. He tells Marsh that he would be bringing two Native Alaskan chiefs to visit the school site. He explains that because of their visit, he would postpone a trip to Puget Sound. (This postponed trip did indeed take place in February 1880, and resulted in the first group of Native students being brought to the Forest Grove school.) Wilkinson also notes that he had talked to Mrs. Huff of Oregon City about being hired as the school's matron. The letterhead on which this note is written is printed with the addresses of both Pacific University and the Indian Education Department of the Department of the Interior because Wilkinson was working for both of them at the time

Wilkinson letter on expenses and bringing new children back to the Indian School
No full textLetter dated May 18, 1880 from Capt. M. C. Wilkinson to Joseph W. Marsh. Marsh was a professor at Pacific University and was functioning as its interim president. At the time of writing this letter, Wilkinson was serving as the first superintendent of the Forest Grove Indian Training School, while concurrently serving as a professor of military science at Pacific University. The Indian School had opened just a few months before this letter and Wilkinson was apparently working on accounting for all the related expenses. Wilkinson warmly addresses Marsh as 'Brother' due to their common religious beliefs. He notes that he hopes to return soon with more children for the school. The school's roster shows that he did indeed return to Forest Grove on May 28 with six more children from the Puyallup Agency. The letterhead on which this note is written is printed with the addresses of both Pacific University and the Indian Education Department of the Department of the Interior because Wilkinson was working for both of them at the time
