Thomas A. Hendricks, commissioner, General Land Office, Lecompton, writes J. A. Halderman of Leavenworth, Kansas Territory, regarding a request for information about the preemption laws. Hendricks indicates that circulars are being sent and briefly discusses Indian reserves that were not subject to preemption but, rather, were "to be sold by the United States, on account and for the benefit of said Indians."
