content: "This picture was taken some days after the payment began but there are hundreds of thousands left on the bundles on the table. The man sitting at the table with his coat off is Treasurer E.E. Starr and the large man sitting by him is Principal Chief C.J. Harris of the Cherokees; those around are all clerks or guards. The Indians are a droughty set, and it is more than probable that the "grip" on the shelf contains a bottle or two of whiskey. The amount paid to each Cherokee man, woman, or child is 267 dollars and 70 cents. Each one receives two 100.00 dollar bills, one five dollar bill, and 2 dollars and 70 cents in silver." Description supplied by Grant Foreman, October 10, 1934.
