Correspondence between Senator Elmer Thomas and Frank Stewart on Sale of Indian Lands in 19371937-07-17unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_053_12_10_64_0027The letter is from Frank Stewart to Senator Elmer Thomas, expressing concerns about the sale of Indian lands, specifically valuable timbered lands in Oklahoma. Stewart believes that the government has neglected the timber on the land and allowed it to be removed for commercial purposes. He requests that the sale be postponed until an investigation is conducted and a fair adjustment is made. He also asks that mineral rights be reserved in the sale. Senator Thomas assures Stewart that he will do what he can to help and is cooperating with Chief Durant of the Choctaw Tribe.
