![["Mrs. Elmira Mitchell wrote a letter to Congressman Carl Albert inquiring about payments to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal and asphalt lands to the government. Congressman Albert responded by informing her that payments have already started and checks are being mailed as applications are received and checked, rather than alphabetically. He also provided information on how to obtain payment information for other enrollees. Congressman Albert offered further assistance if needed."]](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_75_0000-(19)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_75_0008_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Payments to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for Coal and Asphalt Lands Sales")
