Description
This letter, dated July 18, 1952, from Laura Page Knudson on behalf of the office of United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick to Jim (James) Black Dog is Knudson's response to Black Dog's phone call regarding matters that Knudson then took up with US Senator Milton Young's office. Knudson explains why Lilly Wolf had $200 deducted from her per capita payment of $1,600, and referring to James Smith, whom Black Dog had claimed had not been paid for 3 weeks of labor, suggests Black Dog contact Martin Cross, or take the matter up with the Tribal Council.
