To George William Curtis, December 29th	494
Suggestions for preventing Grant's nomination for a third term.
1880.
To Henry Cabot Lodge, January 3d	495
Lacks time to write article against Grant's nomination for a third term—All citizens averse to voting for Grant should declare themselves before the meeting of the National Convention.
To Mrs. Helen Jackson, January 17th	496
Advises Mrs. Jackson that Indian tribes cannot sue the Government—Money being collected for that purpose in the interest of the Poncas might well be used instead to help educate Indian children.
From Mrs. Helen Jackson, January 22d	499
Able lawyers ready to undertake the case of the Poncas and ample funds easily raised—Money could not be diverted to another purpose—Has there ever been any bill before Congress to secure to the Indians their lands in severalty and to give legal protection for their rights and property?
To Miss Emma Allison, January 24th	501
Satisfactory interview with Indian delegation—Hopes to secure legislation giving Indians title in severalty to their land—Asks further information as to Indians on Pacific coast.
To Mrs. Helen Jackson, January 26th	501
The Secretary's objection is that because an Indian tribe cannot maintain action in a United States court, to collect money for such a purpose can benefit only lawyers, not the Indians—Again suggests that consent be obtained to use for Indian schools the money collected—Several bills to give Indians needed rights and protection are before Congress.
To E. Dunbar Lockwood, April 1st	503
An unfounded and unwarranted newspaper attack—Extermination of Utes in retaliation, prevented by Schurz—Particulars of agreement with Utes and Secretary's attitude toward them.
