- Description:
- The document from Mr. Armstrong to Congressman Carl Albert in November 1947 is regarding the proposed sale of Choctaw and Chickasaw coal and asphalt lands to the United States. Mr. Armstrong is seeking clarification on the contract, specifically whether it includes a release of all claims against the United States. Congressman Albert informs Mr. Armstrong that the contract only covers the specified lands and mineral interests, and not any other claims the tribes may have. He returns the contract and ballot, and advises Mr. Armstrong to contact their Washington office for further assistance as their McAlester office is closing due to a special session of Congress.
