The author, Ladonna Harris, is writing to Jack Curran to express her appreciation for his help in arranging a meeting with Mr. Connerton. She is also enclosing a letter to Mr. Fusco soliciting a contribution for the AIO Action Council budget, as well as a copy of the budget and the AIO Action Council's Annual Report. Harris emphasizes the importance of time in relation to the Menominee tribe, and asks Curran to follow up with Fusco as soon as possible.
