Webster to Senator Elmer Thomas regarding the Indian Hospital in Talihina, Oklahoma. The hospital is well-equipped and serves both Indian and white patients in cases of emergency. However, due to a complaint, the staff has been instructed to only admit white patients in extreme emergencies. The letter emphasizes the importance of the hospital in providing medical services to a large area with limited access to healthcare. It also highlights the limitations of local physicians in comparison to the specialized care provided by the hospital. The letter urges Senator Thomas to allow the doctors at the Indian Hospital to interpret emergency needs for admission.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
