Description
This letter dated February 17, 1953, from United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick to Bismarck, North Dakota Attorney George S. Register, responds to Register's letter asking for support in contesting Elizabeth L. McCleskey's wrongful termination from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs. Burdick agrees that there seems to be no evidence to warrant her dismissal and says he has already contacted the new Secretary of the Interior to demand a hearing.
