Conlan, Mike Conlan, and Czarina C. Conlan to Honorable Elmer Thomas, U.S. Senator, expressing concerns about the sale of Indian lands, specifically valuable timbered lands in the Eastern part of the state. They feel that the government is not properly valuing the land and timber, and are requesting that the sale be postponed until an investigation is conducted and mineral rights are reserved. Senator Thomas assures them that he will do what he can to help and cooperate with Chief Durant of the Choctaw Tribe.
