This series consists of copies of the outgoing correspondence of the superintendent, and occasionally the clerk in change, and documents the dual functions of the superintendent as school administrator and supervisor of non-reservation Indians within the vicinity of Pipestone, Minnesota. Correspondents include businesses, schools and agencies, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, other persons in the Indian Service in Washington and elsewhere, employees, parents, and private individuals. Most of the letters concern purchases of supplies, equipment, and services; student transportation, enrollment, transfers, and attendance; office administration; and probate and heirship matters. The letters were chiefly sent to superintendents, agents and other Office of Indian Affairs field office personnel; employees and students of the Pipestone and Birch Cooley schools; former students parents and guardians; businesses and commercial firms; and religious charitable organizations. For the period 1924-1925 the series also includes letters sent to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and subordinate offices.
