The audience Arthur had intended to read this letter was congress in hope of having them pass his idea. His idea had three main arguments for accomplishing the integration of Native Americans into western civilization. The first was applying the variety of colony laws to the Indians the second was grating the Indians the right to own property and the third was implementing a western style education system for Indian children. Based off the reading, it is apparent that Arthur did not agree with the current implemented laws for integrating Native Americans into their society.
