In this letter to General James W. Denver, R.S. Stevens addresses events in Kansas Territory. Stevens suggests to Denver that "the management of Indian Affairs property in Kansas can at this time be made an all powerful lever in bringing about an entire political revolution" that he hopes might enable the Democrats to increase their presence in the U.S. Congress.
