The letter is a response to Mr. Impson's inquiry about payments for the sale of Choctaw-Chickasaw coal and asphalt lands. The sender, Carl Albert, mentions that they hope to have the full amount of $8,500,000 placed in a Department of Interior appropriation so that the tribes can be paid off in full that year. Albert assures that he will do everything he can to make this happen and offers to be of service if needed.
