- Description:
- Mrs. Lizzie Whitener writes to Congressman Carl Albert asking about when she can expect to receive her money from the sale of Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations' lands. Congressman Albert responds that enrolled members will be paid first, and it will take about sixty days. He expresses regret that older members couldn't benefit sooner and offers to help with any questions. Whitener, in her letter, emphasizes her need for the money as she is unable to work and depends on her children for support.
