Description
This letter dated July 8, 1955, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to Three Affiliated Tribes Tribal Chairperson Martin Cross, thanks Cross for his telegram regarding the resignation of Superintendent Shane. This is likely a reference to Ralph M. Shane who was superintendent of the Fort Berthold Agency from 1953 to 1955. Langer asks Cross to keep him advised of any further recommendations from the Tribal Council.
A handwritten note on the top of the letter reads, "Cross, Martin."
