- Description:
- Mr. M. B. Swallow from Red Rock, Oklahoma, wrote to Rep. Page Belcher expressing his desire to purchase two 40-acre tracts of Indian land. The document was forwarded to the Anadarko Area Office of the Office of Indian Affairs for investigation. The investigation revealed that the lands were restricted and not available for public sale until the lease expired. The Area Director informed Rep. Belcher about the restrictions and the process for applying for the sale of the lands. Swallow was informed about the situation and was promised further updates.
