Walter Oakley, W. W. Ross, and John Richey write from Topeka, Kansas Territory, to invite Robinson to address the "Mass Meeting" to be held in their city on Monday, December 28, for the purpose of endorsing "the action of the Convention at Lawrence." These men and the community held Robinson in the highest "esteem," but they differed with him "upon the question of voting for state officers under the Lecompton Constitution."
