![["The Wilson-Bennett Lumber Company is thanking Senator Elmer Thomas for his efforts to stop the sale of Indian lands as a unit, as it would be unfair to both the Indians and local lumber manufacturers. They believe the land would fetch a higher price if sold in separate tracts and urge the Senator to use every effort possible to cancel the sale. They also request to be kept informed about the matter."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20William%20Elmer%20Thomas%20Collection/CAC_CC_053_12_10_65_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw,%20Sale%20of%20Timberlands,%201936-1937/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_053_12_10_65_0033_thumbnail.jpg "1937 Letter from Wilson-Bennett Lumber Company to Senator Elmer Thomas Regarding the Sale of Indian Lands")
