Mrs. Springer wrote to Congressman Jarman inquiring about the distribution of funds by the Indians Claim Division for the Citizens Band of Pottawatomi Indians in Oklahoma. Congressman Albert responded, explaining that the distribution was delayed due to a lawsuit filed by the Prairie Band of Pottawatomi Indians in Kansas Federal Court. He assured Mrs. Springer that he was working with Congressman Jarman to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Honorable Charles F. Fuller, who forwarded Mrs. Springer's letter, expressed disappointment in the lack of action from Congress and shared updates on local political turmoil in Durant, Oklahoma.
