The letter from Reverend Jesse Greenwood to Congressman Carl Albert expresses the urgency of appropriating funds for the sale of Chickasaw-Choctaw coal and asphalt lands to the government. The Reverend emphasizes the importance of this money for making improvements on farms and in homes, and requests prompt action on the matter. Congressman Albert responds, assuring Reverend Greenwood that he will do everything he can to ensure the full amount of $8,500,000 is appropriated by Congress during the current session.
