The letter addresses Mrs. Burress' inquiry about payment to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal lands to the government. It advises her to notify the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency of her address to avoid delays in receiving payment. The letter explains that living enrolled members will be paid first, followed by heirs. Proof of heirship notices will be sent out in the fall for completion and return to the Agency. Mrs. Burress is encouraged to contact the Agency with her updated address. The second letter is a request for information on how to contact the Choctaws and Chickasaws for payment.
