Inquiry Regarding Mr. Jules C. Pappin, Osage Indian, 1952-01-01 - 1952-12-31
Item — Box: 12, Folder: 35a
Identifier: CAC_CC_004_2_12_35a_0024
The letter is from Reverend V.J. Zuniga to Congressman Page Belcher, requesting assistance in removing the guardian of Mr. Jules C. Pappin, an Osage Indian, who believes his guardian and attorney have misused his money. The Department of the Interior responds that Mr. Pappin can petition the County Court for removal of his guardian, as he has the same rights as any citizen in this respect. The letter also mentions that Mr. Pappin was issued a certificate of competency under the Act of March 2, 1929, but this does not attest to his legal competency. The Reverend urges Congressman Belcher to use his influence to stop the corruption and help Mr. Pappin.
