Letter
Description
This letter was written to express sympathy to Janes Jones. It was probably related to the raid in August 1856 which resulted in the destruction of the Jones home and belongings. (Geary was governor of Kansas territory from September 1856 through February 1857.) Mrs. Chaplin heard of the problem through letters written to Mrs. Jones' sister. Mrs Chaplin says her church will be sending a barrel of goods to the Jones family.
