These letters, spanning July 1887, are from individuals, organizations, companies, and state officials regarding Kansas affairs to Kansas Governor John Martin. The letters cover various topics including personal matters/opinions, soldiers, military affairs, prohibition, newspaper/publication articles, legislation, criminal cases, Kansas counties, patents, railroads, and the appointment to positions. Martin was fortunate to have acquired upon his inauguration, in 1885, a state of affairs that was persistent in prosperous economic growth, and city and town expansion. But, all that boom and extravagance changed in his last year of office, 1888, when conditions gave way to severe drought and an economic recession.
