While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Receipt is hereby acknowledged to joint affidavit of W. A. Lingle and N.
M. Mathews in regard to the marriage of Benjamin F. Davis and Mary Ann
Varner. Also letter of John D. Evans and J. P. Henderson with reference
thereto, which are offered for filing in support of the application of
Benjamin F. Davis for the identification of himself and minor children as
Mississippi Choctaws.
The same have been filed and made a part of the record in this case.
Yours truly,

Dear Sir:
Receipt is hereby acknowledged of your letter of October 8, 1901, in which
you state that you find the name of Paul Davis appears on the roll signed
P. Davis, and that you can make proof that he, (Paul Davis)
invariably signed his name P. Davis, and that if the commission thinks
necessary you can make such proof at once.
In reply to your letter you are advised that it appears from our records
that on June 12, 1901 Henry H. Davis appeared before the Commission at
Atoka, Indian Territory, and applied for the identification of himself and
four minor children as Mississippi Choctaws.
If you wish to offer any further evidence in support of your application,
you will be permitted to do so, and the same will be made a part of the
record in your case.
