Scope and Contents
Mrs. Margaret B. Jones inquires about payment to the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal land. She is advised that living enrolled members will be paid first, followed by heirs upon proof of heirship. Specific answers to heirship questions are not available at the moment, and instructions will be sent out by the Muskogee office. Mrs. Jones also asks about the rights of her adopted child, and it is suggested that he may be entitled to a share of his parents' headright. Congressman Carl Albert offers assistance and promises to provide more information.
