Description
This letter, dated December 2, 1952, from Fargo Attorney Nelson Mason to Assistant Director of the United States (US) Bureau of Land Management William Zimmerman concerns land patents 1133570 and 1133027. In the letter Mason quotes, in full, a letter he received from Richland County North Dakota State Attorney Pat Malloy, in which Malloy explains the reason behind the discrepancy in the land descriptions and this and concludes that the patents need added language indicating that the properties lie in the Lake Traverse Lands area, which is the old Sisseton and Wahpeton Indian Reservation. Mason's goes on to state that he hopes the quoted letter will be helpful in getting the legal descriptions sorted.
