Description

This letter dated May 7, 1952, from United States (US) Senator William Langer to A. N. Winge of Van Hook, North Dakota, marks the receipt of Winge’s letter from April 28, 1952. Langer writes that “it is extremely difficult to advise you concerning this matter from this end," explaining that “an action has been instituted in the [US] Federal Court for the condemnation of the land and under such circumstances there is nothing that anyone here can do to be of help.” Langer advises Winge to procure a private attorney to “look after your interest and he really is the only one that can do anything for you.” Langer writes that he will help Winge if her private attorney “runs into some snag, and concludes by assuring Winge that she should get in touch with him if there is anything further he can be helpful in.

The letter includes the all caps annotations “DICTATED BY H.A. MACKOFF” and “GARRISON DAM.”
