These letters, spanning 1885 to 1888, are from the state board of dental examiners regarding their general affairs to Kansas Governor John Martin. The letters discuss various topics including board meetings and appointing dentists to the board. The Kansas Dental Board began as the State Board of Dental Examiners in 1885. It consisted of four practicing dentists who were residents of Kansas. They were appointed by the governor and served four-year terms. The board was abolished in 1943 upon the creation of the Kansas Dental Board.
