Scope and Contents

The letter discusses the abolition of the District Agent position at the Cheyenne-Arapaho Indian Agency and the potential discrimination and political motivations behind the decision. Mr. Hamley, the District Agent, believes the move is being made to create a position for a Democrat appointee and has filed an appeal. The letter expresses concern about the fairness to a career employee and the preference of Indians for positions in an Indian Agency. The writer, Virgil M. Shaw, requests assistance on behalf of Mr. Hamley.
