According to an attached note that cited the November 15, 1856, issue of the "Herald of Freedom," this "list of individuals and clothing" identifies supplies needed by a group of free-state prisoners being held at Lecompton, Kansas Territory. A note at the end is signed by A. Cutler (or Cutter) and addressed to Mr. J. Crocker. The list identifies shirts, shoes, socks, pants, hats, and blankets, but a Porterfield "needed" a "half pint brandy."
