The citizen believes that the government is not selling the land at its actual value and has neglected the timber on the land. They request that the sale be postponed indefinitely until an investigation and adjustment of the timber removal is made, and that a part of the mineral rights be reserved. The letter is addressed to Honorable Elmer Thomas, U.S. Senator, who is the Chairman on Indian Affairs.
