Quantrill reports the results of a recent election on the Lecompton Constitution, which he refers to as the "Lecompton swindle."

This is a copy of an October 1, 1856 letter from George D. Bayard in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas to his father.

Geary for not taking a strong stand against slavery. He also mentions that troops from Lecompton are pursuing James Henry Lane and his men.
