In this letter, dated July 29, 1953, from Acting Assistant United States (US) Attorney General J.

Certain lands and improvements in McLean, Dunn, Mercer and McKenzie Counties, North Dakota, Rufus B. Stevenson et al., and unknown owners, Civil No. 2386.

Williams makes reference to the judgment that was entered in this case on July 17, 1953, which "adjudicated the just compensation to be paid for the taking of all the allotments included in the proceeding with the exception of the Allotments Nos. 323-A and 368 formerly owned by Lillie Wolf of Ellowoods [sic], North Dakota and No. 1790 formerly owned by Anna May Bracklin McGrady, Sanish, North Dakota.
