- Description:
- The document is a plea from Indian missionaries working among primitive Indians in Oklahoma. They describe the people as living in a traditional way, struggling to make a living, and being devout Christians. The missionaries express concerns about the potential loss of schools and hospitals for the community, and ask for consideration of the impact on orphans and afflicted individuals. They urge those in authority to take their responsibility seriously and make decisions that will benefit the community.
