Scope and Contents

The text contains a letter from Betty J. Brown to Dewey F. Bartlett, in which she discusses a procedure that she feels would eliminate the need for mass documentation in order to vote in Five Tribes elections. Brown suggests that the Muskogee Area Office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs compile a list of all persons in the Five Civilized Tribes who were reinstated to the Dawes Commission Rolls, and that these persons be allowed to vote without having to provide documentation. Bartlett responds that he will appreciate it if Ellison will furnish him with his views and opinions on the merits of Brown's suggestion.
