being the children of Louisa Brown, and
through her the grandchildren of Tecumseh
Brown, alleged to have been a full-blood

same maternal ancestors as does Turner
Burris, her case should be considered in
connection with the separate memorandum
relating to his case The right of the two

other hand, their right to such enrollment
