 Item — Box: 6, Folder: 67
Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_6_67_0003
Mrs. Delphine Ellis is inquiring about the payment to Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal lands to the government. She is seeking information about deceased claims and the distribution of payments to legal heirs. Carl Albert, M.C., advises her to wait for proof of heirship notices from the Indian Office and to contact the Superintendent in Muskogee if she does not receive a notice. Mrs. Ellis also asks about the inheritance of her deceased father's estate, who had remarried and had children with his second wife. She is unsure if she or her half-sisters will receive a share of the inheritance.
