![["The document is a letter from Page Belcher, a congressman from Oklahoma, responding to a letter of disappointment from Ernest Hunt regarding the appointment of a new Commissioner of Indian Affairs.

The Oklahoma Indians felt that promises made to them regarding the appointment had not been kept, and they requested that Belvin be appointed as an assistant to the new commissioner. The document includes a newspaper clipping reporting on the Kiowa Indians' protest of Emmons' appointment."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Page%20H.%20Belcher%20Collection,%201951-1972/83rd%20Congress-CAC_CC_004_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_004_2_12_35B_0000-Interior%20Department%20-%20Departmental.%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.,%201953-1954/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_2_12_35b_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Between Oklahoma Indians and Congressman Regarding Appointment of New Commissioner of Indian Affairs")
