Falls City, Oct. 30, 1857.
Dear Sir, — By
great sacrifice we have raised, and send by Mr. Tidd, one hundred and fifty
dollars. I trust this money will be used to get the guns to Kansas, or as near
as possible. If you can get them to this point, we will try to get them on in
some way. The probability is Kansas will never need the guns. One thing is certain:
if they are to do her any good, it will be in the next few days. Let nothing
interfere in bringing them on.
Yours,
J. H. Lane.
