In this letter from Emporia, Kansas Territory, Newton compliments Wood on an article on Emporia that gave "hell" to the local Republicans and encourages Wood to do it again in the next issue of his newspaper. Factionalism was dividing the local party, and Newton mentions several locals, such as [Charles V.] Eskridge, by name.
