Description

This letter dated February 5, 1953, from Dr. L. H. Fredricks to United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick, requests Burdick's assistance in the matter of Elizabeth McCleskey's wrongful termination from the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Fort Yates, North Dakota. Fredricks attests to McCleskey's character and work ethic, and asks Burdick to intervene, as United States Senator William Langer has not yet been successful in his attempts with the United States Department of the Interior. Fredricks closes with a reminder that he knows Burdick personally, as he was one of Burdick's physicians in Bismarck, North Dakota.

There is a handwritten note on the back of the letter from Burdick's office.
