Mrs. Conehead wrote to Congressman Page Belcher expressing her hope for Congress to appropriate money for Loyal Creek and Equalization payments. Belcher responded, stating he is sympathetic to the claims of the Creek people and other Indian tribes, though he is unsure of what will be done in the next session. Mrs. Conehead urges Belcher to work quickly to secure the funds for the payments, as she believes the Indians have waited long enough.
