The writer is against selling the timber in one unit to one bidder, as it could exclude independent timber men and negatively impact the local lumber industry. The letter is addressed to various government officials and advocates for fair and transparent auction practices."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_10_64_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw,%20Sale%20of%20Timberlands,%201936-1937/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_12_10_64_0004_thumbnail.jpg "1937 Public Auction of Indian Timber Land: A Letter of Concern to the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes")
