Correspondence to James R. Jones with three letters written by Overton James, Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, to James R. Jones and John E. Moss, members of Congress. In the letters, James thanks Jones for his support of programs for American Indians and expresses his hope for continued help. He also shares a brochure on services for Oklahoma Indians sponsored by the Chickasaw Indian Nation. In the letters to Moss, James suggests that the enclosed brochure may be of interest to his constituents and expresses gratitude for his efforts in support of the Indian Housing Program. James also discusses the Atkinson Industries factory and its potential to address the shortage of qualified craftsmen and provide good, modern housing for rural areas. He proposes a partnership with Atkinson Industries to expedite the construction of homes for Indian communities and suggests that leaders from other tribes visit the factory to learn from their innovative, proven housing operation.
