![["Mr. Wilson is inquiring about whether his mother, who is listed on the Choctaw rolls, will receive his deceased father's share of monies from the sale of coal lands. The Indian office advises that enrolled members will be paid first, and then proof of heirship notices will be sent to heirs of deceased members to determine legal heirs and amounts to be received. Mr. Albert suggests contacting the Five Civilized Tribes Agency in Muskogee for detailed information. He reassures Mr. Wilson that since his mother is an enrolled member, she will be among the first to receive her share."]](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_0017_thumbnail.jpg "Inheritance Rights of Choctaw and Chickasaw Coal Land Sale Proceeds")
