This letter was written by E.S. Lowman in Paola, Kansas, to Kansas Gov. Charles Robinson on August 13, 1861.

After the local sheriff arrested several suspected guerrillas from a “secret organization,” the situation settled down.

He also describes recent efforts by law enforcement to recover property stolen by Jayhawkers.
