![["The letter is from Cherokee Tribal Attorney Earl Boyd Pierce to Paul M. Niebel, expressing frustration over the delay in a legal matter involving the Cherokee tribe. Pierce mentions financial struggles and personal hardships due to the delay, and states that he is closing his law practice as a result. He believes the delay is unjust and criticizes the Interior department for causing a rift between the Cherokee tribe and their attorneys. Pierce also expresses hope that Secretary Udall will make a decision based on legal grounds rather than arbitrary reasons."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20C,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_17_0007.pdf "An Open Letter from a Cherokee Tribal Attorney: Financial Struggles and Unresolved Legal Matters")
