Falls City, Sept. 29, 1857.
Dear General, —
I send you Mr. Jamison (quartermaster-general second division), to assist you
in getting your articles into Kansas in time. Mr. Whitman wrote us a week ago
he would be at Wyandotte yesterday, and that he was supplied with the things;
but he had not arrived when I left. It is all-important to Kansas that
your things should be in at the earliest possible moment, and that you
should he much nearer at hand than you are. I send you all the money I have
(fifty dollars), and General Jamison has some more. We want every gun and all
the ammunition. I do not know that we will have to use them, but I do know we
should be prepared. I send you ten true men. You can rely upon the General; and
what he tells you comes from me.
Yours ever,
J. H. Lane.
To General John Brown,
Tabor.
