While a prisoner at Camp Sackett near Lecompton, Kansas Territory, Charles Robinson informs Frémont that James Emery was traveling east and should be used in Frémont's presidential campaign as a stump speaker as he "can do good service to the cause." Robinson also indicates that he did not know if the Pierce administration had decided whether or not to hang Robinson and his fellow prisoners.
