We were told it was written the papers you made for us were [[underlined]] worth nothing [[/underlined]] and we had [[underlined]] no right [[/underlined]] to the unallotted lands and there fore had no [[underlined]] right [[/underlined]] to [[underlined]] lease [[/underlined]] land and use money coming from lands we have leased I am afraid they will break up our leases. I want you to see what this means. I am sure Sen. Davies will help you. You must have pity on us and help us. Let me know what such talk means. Let me know soon all about it, Our not having right to our land. I am very anxious.

Your friend
