These letters are from various individuals who were involved in the Price Raid of 1864 to Kansas Governor G. W. Glick. These members of the militia requested reparations for their military service in the raid. Almost 10,000 Union troops were involved in a series of events known as Price's Raid due to the incoming Confederate troops being under the command of General Sterling Price. This running battle happened very near the Kansas-Missouri border in the fall of 1864. Price was defeated at Westport on October 23, 1864, and forced to retreat south along the border.
