State Kansas Committee Rooms,
Boston, Jan. 3, 1857.
H. B. HURD, Esq.,
Secy. National Kansas Committee.
Dear Sir, — The
Massachusetts Kansas Committee have thought it best to rescind the vote by
which certain rifles owned by S. Cabot, Jr., are made subject to the order of
the Kansas Central Committee, and to resume possession of the same. They were
taken on to Tabor, it is understood, by Dr. J. P. Root; but they seem to be
still at Tabor, and not to be at present needed in Kansas. Any information
which you can give our agent Mr. Clark, or any directions to your agents which
will facilitate his business, we hope you will give him. The necessary expense
of transporting the rifles will be reimbursed by this committee when they have
obtained actual possession of them; and they will be held in trust for the
people of Kansas for the present.
Truly yours,
F. B. Sanborn,
Cor. Sec. Mass. S.
K. Com.
