The letter is a correspondence between Mr. Wm. S. Hamilton, an attorney at law in Oklahoma, and Mr. George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, regarding a delegation of Osage Indian Councilmen and leaders visiting Washington. The Indians requested an amendment to the Interior Appropriations Bill to pay for a tribal attorney to represent their interests, as opposed to the current attorney who represented the government. The delegation also expressed opposition to a bill restricting their access to peyote for religious purposes. Hamilton asks Schwabe to keep him informed of any legislation that could affect the community at large.
