The letter is from Lyle H. Boren, a member of the United States Congress, responding to a letter from Bird Burgess regarding legislation for the Loyal Creek claimants. Boren explains that no bills have been passed in recent years concerning the Loyal Creeks, and provides information on bills introduced since the 75th Congress. Burgess had been elected by the Loyal Creek claimants to correspond with Boren on their behalf.
