The letter from Page Belcher to Jay W. Whitney is regarding Mr. Whitney's proposals to represent certain Indians in the prosecution of claims for income tax refunds. The Bureau of Indian Affairs declined to enter into a contract with Whitney for these services, stating that they encourage Indians to manage their own financial affairs. The Bureau will only consider contracts between Whitney and individual Indians under specific conditions. Whitney's proposed contracts with certain individuals have not been approved or disapproved, and he is instructed to direct further communications to the Acting Area Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
