The text is a letter from Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson, a member of the US Congress, to Rufus O'Neal, a member of the Pit River Tribal Council. In the letter, Johnson sympathizes with the dissatisfaction of the Pit River Indians with the $29,000,000 judgment they received as part of a compromise of the general California Indian claim, but explains that the matter is now closed and that the Pit River Indians will not be able to reopen their claim. He also advises O'Neal to continue his negotiations with the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Secretary of the Interior.
