![["Levi Stevens, Chairman of the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians, wrote a letter to Phileo Nash, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, expressing concerns about the allocation of funds for a farm to market road for the Ponca Indians. Stevens believes that road 6113, which benefits both Indians and white farmers, is a more logical choice for the project than road 6117, which he feels is not as beneficial to the Indian community. Stevens requests a fair investigation and emphasizes the importance of education for Indian children."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_22_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20S-Z,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_22_0008.pdf "Correspondence Regarding Injustices to the Tonkawa Indians and the Misuse of Funds for Road 6117")
