- Description:
- The text consists of multiple telegrams sent to US Senator Elmer Thomas regarding the sale of Indian timber lands in various counties in Oklahoma. The senders request that the sale be cancelled or changed as selling the land as a unit would work hardship on small operators in the area. They suggest that the land be sold in separate tracts to prevent monopoly and protect smaller operators.
