- Description:
- G. V. Merryman wrote a letter to Senator Elmer Thomas requesting information about a payment to be made to the Choctaw Indians. The letter from William Zimmerman, Jr. of the Office of Indian Affairs stated that no immediate payment is planned, as representatives of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations have not reached an agreement with the Secretary of the Interior regarding the sale of coal lands. Merryman expressed concern for elderly Indians in need of the money before they pass away.
