Samuel C. Pomeroy again reports to Thaddeus Hyatt from Atchison, Kansas Territory, regarding various issues having to do with their investments in that town. "The Rail Road matter," which went "well," has led Pomeroy to make tentative plans, it seems, to found a town across the river from Atchison to tie to the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad from land he already owned. "If the Rail Road can be put through next season, we can sell [Atchison] lots enough to make such sinners as we are rich as sinners ought to be."
