On June 20, 1864, Jonathan B. Fuller writes from Kansas City, Missouri to his father. Fuller reports that his Sunday church congregation was smaller than usual "on account of the details for Guard duty. For everybody is under arms. The soldiers are off scouring the country for bushwhackers. We…are supposed to be in danger of an attack--so all hands, Rebel & Radical--old and young--are armed and standing guard every night." Fuller also describes escalating political tension within his church.

On May 23, 1864, Jonathan B. Fuller writes from Kansas City, Missouri to his father. Fuller writes about his plans for his church congregation, and describes attending a school picnic in Kansas City, at which he gave a short address. He mentions that a colleague plans to start east on a collecting trip, provided General Grant "is successful on the Potomac." Fuller adds that there are bushwhackers in the area, but only a few and therefore "not likely to do any general mischief."

On October 24, 1864, Jonathan B. Fuller writes from Kansas City, Missouri to his father. Fuller describes the recent Battle of Westport in which the Confederates were "repulsed" and reportedly suffered 32 casualties. He admits, "I do not feel overmuch pleased with our defenders. It seems to me that with the force we had yesterday, we ought to have driven the Rebels like chaff--instead of acting as we seem to have done for half the day on the defensive simply."
