Staff Only

Mrs. Olive Lewis wrote a letter to Carl Albert inquiring about payment to the members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations for the sale of their coal lands to the government. The Indian Office advised that payments will be made to living enrolled members first, with proof of heirship notices being sent out to heirs of deceased members. Mrs. Lewis asked about the payment for her deceased husband and whether her children would receive any part of it. She also inquired about her deceased uncle's estate and whether her children would inherit any money from him. Carl Albert responded, explaining the process for distributing payments and advising Mrs. Lewis to contact the Superintendent if she did not receive a notice in August.
