The letter is from C.S. Williams to Congressman Wilburn Cartwright urging him to support the proposal to set aside 100,000 acres of land in McCurtain County as a National Forest and recreational area due to the destruction and degradation of the land. Williams expresses concern about the environmental impact and the potential for the area to become barren like the Sahara desert if action is not taken.
