Description:

Mrs. Amos Johns from Jacksonville, Arkansas, wrote a letter to the White House expressing her concerns about the well-being of Indians on reservations. The Speaker forwarded her letter and a clipping from The Arkansas Democrat to the White House, and received a response from Assistant to the President Max L. Friedersdorf assuring consideration of Mrs. Johns' request. Mrs. Johns had previously worked to help Indian families in Montana in the 1960s and hoped for similar assistance from the President. The document also includes a personal account from Mrs. Johns detailing her efforts to help Indian families in need.
