The text includes a letter from Congressman James R. Jones regarding the construction of a new Indian hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma. Mr. Butler disagrees with the idea of building special hospitals for Indians and believes they should have access to the same facilities as everyone else.

The director of the Claremore Hospital argues for one comprehensive facility for all patients, rather than favoring treatment for Indians.
