Mrs. Robbie M. Jonas has written a letter to Congressman Carl Albert regarding the payment to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their lands to the government. She has moved from Oklahoma and is unsure of how to receive information about this payment. Congressman Albert informs her that the living enrolled members will be paid first and advises her to write to the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency in Muskogee, Oklahoma with her new address, roll number, and tribe to ensure she receives her check without delay. He also mentions that no forms will be necessary for the living enrolled members.
