- Description:
- Mrs. Lovett wrote to Senator Thomas expressing her support for Belvin's appointment as Principal Chief of the Choctaw Tribe. Senator Thomas reassured her that he has received positive endorsements for Belvin and would help if he could. He explained that the appointment does not need to be confirmed by the Senate, as it is typically made by the President based on the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior. Senator Thomas suggested that Mrs. Lovett write directly to the Secretary of the Interior for further information.
