Description
This letter, dated April 24, 1956, from Josephine Poetz of Parshall, North Dakota on the Fort Berhold Reservation, to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick, appears to be part of a letter-writing campaign in support of US Senate Bill 2151 (S. 2151) and per capita payments. Poetz writes,"We have been waiting for this money a long time," and will appreciate any help Burdick can offer in getting it to them. About half a dozen similar letters were in Burdick's files.
