- Description:
- The document from John R. Pearson to George B. Schwabe expresses concern about rumors that the Osage Indian Superintendent and Tribal Council, along with their attorney, are seeking legislation in Washington that would affect the Osage Tribe. Pearson is particularly concerned about the potential impact on the probating of estates of deceased Osage Indians and guardianship of incompetent tribe members. Schwabe reassures Pearson that he believes the rumors are unfounded and that he will keep a close watch on the situation to inform Pearson and others of any potential threats to their community. Schwabe also mentions that the Council's efforts in Washington have so far been focused on reducing agency employees and expenses, which he sees as a positive step towards fiscal responsibility.
