- Description:
- The letter from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to Mrs. William M. Newton addresses her inquiry about the status of the Cherokee Tribal Claims and the progress under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act. The letter explains that some Cherokee claims have been dismissed, but there is a resolution pending in Congress to reinstate certain cases. It also mentions that applications for credit associations under the welfare act are being processed, with a focus on individual case merit. Mrs. Newton is advised to contact A. C. Monahan in Oklahoma City for further information.
