Mostly personal, this brief letter from Washington, D. C. to his wife, Sara, in Lawrence, Kansas Territory, announces Charles Robinson's impending departure from Washington and his intention to provide his wife with adequate domestic service in the future. But Robinson also mentions "our railroad bill" and the long awaited "Indian Commissioners decision probably on the float this week."
