The documents in this file pertain to matters concerning lands in the State of Kansas. A letter on March 15, 1877, from M. J. Dart, states a Warranty Deed recently given by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad dated April 1, 1873, and November 1, 1870, was released by two of the three parties. In the letter, Dart states he understands the patents for their land is on record in Governor Anthony's office and asks if the Governor knows if the two dates are the only ones and if two of the three trustees can legally release. A letter on January 19, 1878, from T. W. Russell, concerns a letter from Governor Anthony requesting the amount of principal and interest on account of Agricultural land taxes. A letter on May 17, 1878, from Fayette Verbeck, asks for information regarding the railroad land grants of Kansas. In the letter, Verbeck asks how far from the Kansas Pacific a citizen has to go to get one hundred and sixty acres of land. A letter on August 20, 1878, questions what title a person gains who buys land sold for taxes.
