Herndon to Honorable Elmer Thomas, expressing concern about the sale of valuable timbered lands belonging to the Choctaw Tribe. Herndon requests that the sale be postponed indefinitely until an investigation is conducted and the mineral rights are reserved.

He urges Senator Thomas to consider the matter carefully and take action to protect the property rights of the Indian citizens.
