Description
This letter, dated February 19, 1947, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to J. J. Belik, Sr. of Stanley, North Dakota, makes reference to an enclosed report from the Public Welfare Board of North Dakota, which Langer writes should be self-explanatory. The letter included the handwritten notation:
X Gillette, George
X Hall, James
X Gahley, Elmer
Note: while the referenced report was not found with this letter in Langer's papers, "A Tentative Proposal for the Rehabilitation of the Fort Berthold Indians," February 4, 1949, issued by the Public Welfare Board of North Dakota, was found in the same folder as this letter. Since that proposal is dated February 1949 and this letter is dated February 1947, one of the dates would have to be incorrect for that proposal to be the report referenced in this letter.
