![["Jack L. Rorschach, an attorney, wrote to Senator Monroney on behalf of Violet Mae Wesho Foreman, a Menominee Indian whose Treasury Bonds were stolen while she lived in Chicago. The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided instructions for replacement of the bonds, suggesting that if they were Treasury Bonds, the loss should be reported to the Treasury Department in Chicago, and if they were issued by Menominee Enterprises, Inc., the matter should be taken up with that organization. Senator Monroney's office acknowledged the letter and promised to provide information on the replacement procedure. Violet Mae Wesho Foreman had received a $3,000 bond from the Menominee tribe, which was stolen in Chicago in 1961."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20D-F,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0014.pdf "Stolen Treasury Bonds: Correspondence Regarding Recovery and Replacement")
