These letters, spanning 1867 to 1868, are from Cherokee County Kansas officials and citizens regarding the county's affairs to Kansas Governor Samuel Crawford. One letter requests the establishment of a county seat with a signed petition attached. The other letters, also with signed petitions, either request the removal of the current probate judge or verify a vacancy in that position, and recommend the appointment of either John D. Coulter, L. Williams, or William Little as the successor. Cherokee County was organized in 1866.
