- Description:
- Johnson, an attorney, writes to Senator Elmer Thomas seeking information on treaties between the Cherokee Tribe and the United States for a case involving Mrs. Minnie B. Allen's interest in her late husband's allotted lands. He alleges that the sale of the land to another party was void and seeks legal information to support his case in court. He also mentions the political affiliation of Mrs. Allen and her family as Democrats who have supported Senator Thomas in the past. He asks for assistance but acknowledges the Senator's busy schedule.
