Scope and Contents

The letter addresses Sherman L. Pruitt's inquiry about the disposition of certain lands in his and Litt Pruitt's allotment. It explains that their allotments became unrestricted by an act of Congress in 1908, meaning there was no requirement for approval for sale or leasing of the properties. The letter expresses regret for not being able to provide more information and suggests further communication with Mr. Pruitt. Additionally, there is mention of discrepancies in property sales and a request for information on per capita payments.
