- Description:
- The letter from Commissioner John Collier to John L. Richerson addresses the issue of per capita payments to the Choctaw Indians and the disposition of segregated coal lands they are interested in. It states that there are not enough funds for a payment at the moment and that the coal lands have not been sold due to the depressed condition of the coal mining industry. The letter also mentions pending Court of Claims cases for the Choctaw Nation, with no money available for tribe members unless favorable judgments are obtained and Congress makes appropriations.
