- Description:
- The document is a letter from George B. Schwabe, a member of the Committee on Indian Affairs, to Laurence D. Hibbs, regarding the Indian curative title act which recently passed. The act validated titles to lands in the Five Civilized Tribes of eastern and southern Oklahoma, stabilizing titles that had been deemed invalid by previous court rulings. The document expresses pride in the work done to pass the bill and includes a copy of the Act. Additionally, oil executives in the Mid-Continent region joined the tribesmen in approving President Truman's signing of the act. The document from Laurence D. Hibbs expresses appreciation for Schwabe's efforts in getting the law passed and requests two copies of the law.
