Phillips, an Indian, expresses concern to U.S. Senator Elmer Thomas about the sale of valuable timber lands belonging to the Indians in Oklahoma. He believes the land should be sold at its current value, not the 1912 appraisal, and that the government has neglected the timber on the land. Phillips requests an investigation and adjustment before the sale proceeds. Senator Thomas assures Phillips that he will advocate for the best interests of the Indians.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
