- Description:
- Elmer Thomas writes to Commissioner John Collier requesting increased funds for the Indian Hospital in Shawnee, Oklahoma, as only $5,000 out of the allotted budget is proposed to be spent. Thomas highlights the need for necessary improvements at the hospital to provide better service, especially since some patients are housed in wooden buildings. He asks for favorable consideration of the request and to be informed of any action taken. Commissioner Collier responds, assuring Thomas that he will do his best to secure the funds and will provide an update when possible.
