![["Mrs. Lora K. Davis received a letter from Carl Albert, a Congressman from Oklahoma, regarding the payment to the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations for the sale of their coal and asphalt lands to the government. The letter states that the payments will be made soon, amounting to about $350 per person. The Indian Service has been slow in processing the payments, but efforts are being made to expedite the process. Congressman Albert assures Mrs. Davis that he is working to ensure that the payments are made promptly."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_6_77_0000-(21)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_77_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence on Government Payment to Choctaws and Chickasaws for Land Sale")
