Scope and Contents

Mrs. Laura M. Cloud's letter concerning her father's property in Okemah, Oklahoma was referred to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The property is subject to a lawsuit filed by John C. Clark to quiet title and partition the lands, except for a five-acre tract where her father's home is located. The Bureau has no jurisdiction over the sale or disposal of the property, as the courts have authority in such matters. The Bureau assures Mrs. Cloud that her father's home is not presently in jeopardy, but action will be taken under the direction of the District Court of Okfuskee County for the partition or sale of the remaining acreage.
