The text discusses a group of Native Americans called the "Kansas Delawares" who are asking Congress to amend a previous judgement in their favor. The author, Elizabeth Sarcoxie Carroll, is a member of the Delaware tribe and urges Congressman James R. Jones to take action on their behalf. She argues that the Delawares have been waiting for seven years for the judgement to be paid out, and that many elders in the tribe are already sick or dying. She urges the congressman to take action to ensure that the Delawares receive their money promptly.
