- The letter is from Cherokee Tribal Attorney Earl Boyd Pierce to Paul M. Niebel, expressing frustration over the delay in a legal matter involving the Cherokee tribe. Pierce mentions financial struggles and personal hardships due to the delay, and states that he is closing his law practice as a result. He believes the delay is unjust and criticizes the Interior department for causing a rift between the Cherokee tribe and their attorneys.
