- Description:
- The letter is from S. Irby Kolb to U.S. Senator Elmer Thomas, expressing concerns about the practices of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency and Commissioner of Indian Affairs regarding Indian land sales. Kolb believes that he has been unfairly treated and is not asking for retroactive orders, but for future procedures to be corrected. He warns that a scandal may develop if changes are not made. Kolb also feels that he has been discriminated against and has been excluded from receiving notices of Indian land sales. He includes copies of correspondence with the Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs for reference.
