The letter is from James R. Jones to Mr. Marvin Franklin, the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior. Jones is concerned about a rumor that the American Indian Movement plans to hold a convention in Pawnee, Oklahoma in early May. He has received inquiries from citizens expressing concern about the possibility of violence and disruption at the convention. Jones asks for Franklin's cooperation in providing information on the proposed meeting and keeping him updated on any developments.
