![["The writer is thanking Congressman George B. Schwabe for his letter and discussing the issue of the party's pledge to the Indians. The writer expresses doubts about the effectiveness of a claims commission and advocates for a settlement or compromise to bring an end to Indian affairs. The writer criticizes the Collier-Thomas-Stigler claims commission idea as political chicanery and suggests that Republicans should come up with a better solution for the Indians. The writer mentions conducting research on Indian affairs and plans to complete it before heading to Washington. The writer appreciates the invitation to use the Congressman's office as headquarters while in the city."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_53_0000-Indian%20Claims%20Commission,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_53_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Investigating Indian Affairs: A Letter to Honorable George B.
