Letter from Representative Burdick to James Black Dog Regarding Lorraine Perkins\u27s Need for Funds to Have Running Water Installed in Her House, March 27, 1957

This letter, dated March 27, 1957, from United States (US) Representative Usher Burdick to James Black Dog informs Black Dog of information Burdick has found regarding Black Dog\u27s sister Lorraine Perkins (misspelled as Lorainne Perkin ) and her need for money to have running water installed in her home. Burdick reports that the US Bureau of Indian Affairs has said that this issue will need to be resolved through the Indian Agency Superintendent. Burdick writes that he is contacting Fort Berthold Agency Superintendent Owen Morken, and advises Black Dog to do the same. A handwritten note on the letter reads, Indians. Note: The spelling Lorraine Perkins is the one used by Morken in a subsequent letter. Because he also references Perkins\u27s bank account information in the same letter, this spelling was deemed most likely to be the correct one.
