- Description:
- Mrs. M. D. Hyrick sent a letter to United States Senator Elmer Thomas enclosing a resolution regarding the proposed abolishment of the Indian Bureau. The resolution expresses disapproval of the abolishment, stating that it would be detrimental to the Indian community and that they lack the knowledge and understanding to manage their own affairs. The resolution also recommends the appointment of a well-prepared and qualified attorney for United States Commissioners. The resolution was signed by a committee group staff and includes various members and their roles. Senator Thomas acknowledges receipt of the resolution and expresses willingness to discuss the matter further with Mrs. Hyrick's attorney.
