Mr. Guion Miller,
Special Commissioner of the Court of Claims
601 Ouray Building
Washington, D. C.

Sir:
Replying to your letter of April 10, (SAF 11279-6781), I advised you to-day that I was unable to identify James Scullawl as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

I have just received information which enables me to identify this person as James Skaloll whose name appears opposite No. 21290 on the approved roll of Cherokee citizens. I am informed that this person is dead, and if living, he would now be about 78 years of age. His residence at the time of his death was in the vicinity of Hulbert, Oklahoma.

Respectfully,

Commissioner

E. C. ALBERTY

ATTORNEY AT LAW

CLAREMORE, OKLAHOMA

Mr. Guion Miller,
Special Commissioner,
Washington D. C.

Dear Sir:
In the matter of the application #11272, James Scullowe, of Hulbert, Oklahoma, I will say as a brother of the above named applicant that James was dead at the time this notice came, and his estate was not administered upon at the time. It is now represented by an administrator and any information that you may need to establish his claim, I will say can be attended to the administrator. I will say that he being a brother of mine, he appears upon the same roll that my name appears. The whole family was enrolled at Ft. Gibson on the payment roll of 1852. This applicant was five or six years older at the time than I was, and we were placed upon the roll together, with our parents who were Adiar Scullowe and Betsy Scullowle. Any communications concerning this matter will be attended to with prompt attention by writing to my attorney at Claremore, Oklahoma. His name is E. C. Alberty. He will see that all additional testimony or facts needed in this case will be furnished the department as soon as it can be secured. Any matters upon which you will want the advise of the Administrator, address, Joe M. LaHay, Muskogee, Oklahoma. He is the legally appointed administrator of the James Scullowle estate, and he will do anything needed to further the interests of said estate. Should you need any other evidence, write to my attorney, and he will advise me, and we will get it at once. You can either write me in answer to this or my attorney. I send the notice with this letter to show that the same came to my brothers address.

Yours truly, William Scullowle

* William Scullawl, states that his brother, James, is 5 or 6 years older than he is, not sure just why that James is listed as being put on a 'new roll' and listed as an orphan, and William is not. On James' miller application, he states that his father is dead by 1835 or 1836, and his mother being listed as Takey and being dead about 1842. William claims that the mother is Betsy, as listed on the Drennen Roll Group-612.
