The letter is from Lyle H. Boren, a U.S. Representative, responding to a request to construct a hospital for the Creek Nation. Boren mentions that the Senate has not taken any action on the appropriation of funds for the hospital, but assures that if the funds are approved, he will discuss the freedmen's interest in accessing the hospital with the Department. The letter also mentions concerns about the allocation of funds for the hospital and asks for support from the recipient, S.T. Chandler, as a representative.
