Correspondence Concerning the Sale of Indian Lands in 19371937-07-17unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_053_12_10_63_0015The letter is from Colbert to Senator Elmer Thomas expressing concern about the sale of Indian lands, specifically timbered lands in Oklahoma. Colbert believes the land is being sold for less than its actual value and that the government has neglected the timber on the land. He requests that the sale be postponed until an investigation is conducted and mineral rights are reserved. Senator Thomas assures Colbert that he will do what he can to help and encourages him to continue writing about any matters of interest.
