![["Mrs. Woolery wrote to Congressman Carl Albert asking if she would be eligible to receive her deceased husband's share of the per-capita payment to Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians for coal and asphalt lands. Congressman Albert advised her to contact the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency in Muskogee, Oklahoma to determine if her husband was enrolled as an intermarried citizen. He offered to help in any way he could."]](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_78_0000-(22)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_78_0013_thumbnail.jpg "Enquiry about Inheritance Rights to Coal and Asphalt Lands: A Correspondence between Mrs. Woolery and Carl Albert")
![["The letter is responding to an inquiry about whether a full blood Choctaw woman who married a white man under Indian law will receive her deceased husband's share of money for coal lands sold to the government. The response states that if the husband was enrolled as a member of the tribe and has no other heirs, the wife may receive his share. It is recommended to contact the Five Civilized Tribes Agency in Muskogee, Oklahoma for more information."]](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_78_0000-(22)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_78_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Inheritance Rights under Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian Law: A Correspondence")
![["Mrs. Harriet C. Pierce is inquiring about payments to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal and asphalt lands. Carl Albert, M.C., informs her that living enrolled members will receive around $350 per capita payment in July. Payments to heirs of deceased members will be made after living members are paid. He advises Pierce and the Gollihare family to contact the Superintendent in Muskogee if they do not receive proof of heirship notices. Pierce also asks about the timing of payments to living Choctaws."]](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_77_0000-(21)%20Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20Choctaw%20and%20Chickasaw%20Indians,%201949/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_6_77_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Government Payments for the Sale of Choctaw and Chickasaw Lands: A 1949 Correspondence")
