1937 Correspondence Regarding the Sale of Indian Timber Land in Oklahoma, 1937-04-30
The letter is from the LeFlore Lumber & Mill Co. to Senator Elmer Thomas, expressing concern about the sale of Indian Timber Land by the United States Government. The company believes that selling the land in individual tracts would result in a higher price and benefit the local lumber industry. They request that the sale be stopped and individual tracts be offered for sale in the County Seat of each county where the land is located. They argue that selling the land as one large tract would harm the lumber industry and the livelihood of many people in the area.
