Description
This letter from Dr. H. L. Avery to Herbert J. Metcalf was a respond a previous letter from Metcalf that was informed about suspicion activity of a German school in Sanborn, Iowa. Metcalf had asked Dr. Avery to investigate. Dr. Avery uncovered that the school was not German-related but rather it was a Holland school. Even though it was not German-related, Dr. Avery was in disgust and believed that even the Holland school should be closed. He believes if immigrants expect to live in America they need to learn English and live up to the standards of being a loyal American citizen. Metcalf
