Washington
February 14, 1914.
My dear Mr. Mott:
Chief Moty Tiger and myself have agreed upon Judge Allen as your successor as Attorney for the Creek Nation.
I shall always take pleasure in contemplating the manner in which you conducted yourself during the inquiry here. That you have been honest under difficulties and fearless at all times in doing your duty, seems to be admitted even by those to whom you have been most antipathetic.
I am glad to know that you are going to return to Oklahoma and I trust that by mingling freely with those people they will come to see you as a man of ideals.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Franklin K. Lane
M. L. Mott, Esq.,
