The documents in this file contain reports from the United States Treasury Department to Kansas Governor Anthony regarding adjustments made between the United States and the State of Kansas relating to public lands. A statement on December 31, 1877, from A. Williamson, Commissioner of the Department of the Interior, states that Kansas is entitled to five percent sales of lands in Native American Reservations after the Native American title has been extinguished. A letter on March 8, 1878, from S. J. Crawford, informs the Governor that the public land sales will be determined in eight or ten days. In the letter, Crawford suggests having a pamphlet of the Commissioners' decision printed for the new comptroller.
