- Description:
- The letter is from Elmer Thomas to Garrett McClure regarding the sale of coal and asphalt deposits belonging to the Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes. Thomas explains that the matter is now in the hands of the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes, A. M. Landman, and suggests contacting him for further information. Thomas expresses willingness to assist but states that no further action can be taken until the Commissioner of Indian Affairs directs Landman to proceed. McClure is asked to keep Thomas informed of any progress made. Another letter from a friend named Williams expresses concern about the delay in selling the coal leases and urges action to benefit the Tribes.
