- Description:
- James E. Curry, an attorney, is writing to Commissioner Louis R. Bruce urging government intervention in a case involving alleged excessive legal fees in Indian claims against the U.S. The case involves lawyers who did not perform the work they claim to have done and are now seeking payment. Curry believes the judgment is unjust and urges intervention before it is entered. He also details the history of the case, including personal attacks and attempts to cancel his contracts. Curry is fighting against paying the lawyers or their assignee, Mrs. Mears, as he believes they did not do the work they claim and are seeking an illegal fee.
