![["John L. Goode, an attorney at Goode, Goode & Henson in Shawnee, Oklahoma, writes to Page Belcher, a Member of Congress, to thank him for helping obtain information from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Belcher had previously checked on an inquiry Goode made regarding a title covering a specific land tract. The Bureau of Indian Affairs confirms that the deed in question was approved by the Secretary of the Interior in 1898, and provides information on the legislative authority for such approvals. Goode had initially written to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to request this information."]](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_35A_0000-Interior%20Department%20-%20Departmental.%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.,%201953-1954/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_004_2_12_35a_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Indian Land Title Inquiry in 1953")
