Item — Box: DP 6, Folder: 82

Identifier: CAC_CC_001_4_6_82_0005

Scope and Contents

The letter is inquiring about when Mr. Jesse Cornelius McGee can expect his per capita payment as the heir of his deceased father, Cornelius McGee. A proof of heirship has been received and a determination will be made soon, but it may take a year or more before all deceased claims are paid. The letter also mentions that proofs of heirship are being examined as quickly as possible, but the process is slow due to legal questions of descent and distribution. The letter is addressed to Hon. Carl Albert, MC, and signed by W. O. Roberts, General Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency.
