dear Sir:

By the enclosed note of the11th inst., we place in your hands one hundred Sharpe's rifles to be sold in conformity therewith, and wish you to make the proceeds for the benefit of the Free-state men in Kansas, taking an account of your doings as far as practicable.

Also a note placing a further sum of five hundred dollars at your disposal, for which you can in need pass your draft on our Treasurer, P. T. Jackson, Esq.
