- Description:
- The letter is from Elmer Thomas to Dr. Arthur C. Parker, discussing the efforts of Mrs. Walter A. Henricks in advocating for the construction of an Indian museum and auditorium in or near Rochester. Thomas mentions the need for proper display and preservation of valuable Indian artifacts, as well as the possibility of securing funds for the building through the President's allocation of funds for Indian Tribes. Thomas also suggests the creation of maps depicting Indian scenes in each state as a valuable resource for those interested in Indian problems. Thomas expresses hope that Mrs. Henricks will return to Washington to further discuss the building project with officials.
