The letter is regarding the request for the removal of restrictions from certain lands belonging to Mr. George Cooper, Choctaw Roll Number 61. The Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. has not received any application from Mr. Cooper and has concerns about his criminal record, so they have not approved the removal of restrictions.
