Description:

Mrs. Celia Kaluzniak wrote to Carl Albert, a member of the House of Representatives, regarding the slow payment to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for coal and asphalt lands they sold to the government. Albert assured her that payments would be made in July, totaling about $350. He expressed frustration with the Indian Service's delays and promised to expedite the process. Kaluzniak also raised questions about per capita payments for Indians in Atoka and Push counties, and requested clarification on funds from a lawsuit.
