Three interrelated themes dominate Muriel Wright’s correspondence in her papers at the Oklahoma Historical Society: her family ties, especially her father’s Choctaw lineage; her work in and promotion of Indian history, especially the Five Civilized Tribes; and her participation in Indian affairs, especially those of the Choctaw Nation. The long-term interaction among those themes was mutually reinforcing. Her commitment to the Wright family’s Choctaw lineage sustained her commitment to the history of Indian people and to Indian affairs in Oklahoma, while her work as a historian and her involvement in Indian affairs invigorated her family ties. To facilitate research in her papers, we have divided them into twelve categories, identified by the following keywords: biography; family; biography and Indian history; Indian history; biography and Indian affairs; Indian affairs and Indian history; Indian affairs; and the following keywords related to her publications: Chronicles of Oklahoma; Spring Place; Guide to Indian Tribes in Oklahoma; Our Oklahoma. This letter is identified by the keywords: Family, Old Boggy Depot.

These handwritten, undated research notes on an unlined note card, titled "Antelope + Deer -- Race of --," compare this theme in the myths of the Yokuts, Ute, Luiseño, and Jicarilla Indians. The Yokuts myth, as related in "Indian Myths of South Central California," A. L. Kroeber, University of California Publications: American Archaeology and Ethnology, Vol. 4, p. 50, explains why the deer hides in the brush but the antelope lives on the plains. The Ute myth has a cannibalistic stake. The Luiseño myth, as related in Vol. 8, p. 50 of the same series, has the antelope coming in first, with the deer second. The Jicarilla myth, as related in "Jicarilla Apache Texts," Pliny Earle Goddard, Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 8, p. 237, has the deer winning, as the antelope has to race where there are no trees.
