appropriation, I understand that

vou on the 12th instant, which some way to enable citizens of
rcp.ds as follows, to-wit:
“He it enacted by the National
Council of the Muskogee Nation:
the Nation to procure foodstuff
who were liable to be reduced to
suffering before another crop
That the sum ol two hundred could be raised, and the money
thousand dollars, placed in the
Treasury of the United States to
the credit of the Creek Nation

March 1. 1 be and is hereby

purpose of making a per capita
payment to the citizens of the

The act provides for the with-
drawal of two hundred thousand
dollars of the invested funds of

you rightfully considered that
whatever was given should be
distributed to each citizen share

had been previously set apart for

In calling attention to this
matter ill mv message I had ill
mind the re|Hirtw from the differ-

Very little food stuff had beta
raised in many localities, and
some of our people would proba-

cil to look into tile matter, it
tound that suffering might occur,
to devise some means to supply
such |iersons who were entirely
without food stuff and unable to
procure it by work, or Ironi any
other source.
I learn that most of our people
have selected lands upon which
no improvements have been made
have rented or leased them for
grazing and for money considera-
tions, trom which they are deriv-
ing some revenue, and this, to-
gether with the fact that food
stuff is easy to procure in the
towns, any person that bus health
and is willing to labor, seems to
leave little probability that any

referred to, there have been set all likely that action could be had that some ol our people may suf-

Out of the remaining one mil-
