- Description:
- Senator Elmer Thomas received a letter from J. Horan Marshall regarding the sale of Indian lands, specifically timbered lands in Oklahoma. The letter expresses concern about the sale of the land at its 1912 appraised value without considering the additional value accrued over the years. The letter also criticizes the government for neglecting the timber on the land and allowing people to remove it for commercial purposes. The writer requests a postponement of the sale until an investigation is conducted and mineral rights are reserved.
