A letter from V. H. Grimstead encloses a newspaper clip that discusses Acts passed by legislature making provisions for two soldiers' homes, one at Fort Dodge and the other at Fort Hays, on the grounds owned by the government. In response to the newspaper clip Grimstead, suggests Kansas Governor Humphrey will likely have to appoint a Board of Managers for the Soldiers' Home at Fort Dodge and recommends W. T. O'Connor for the position. A letter from President J. L. Finley and Secretary J. F. Cobb of the Office at the State Soldiers' Home Association of Kansas notifies the Governor of resolutions passed. The following letters pertain to appoints as members of the Board of Managers.
