Thanks for the comparison of Andreas and Robley. I haven't had the opportunity to do a whole lot of research into the letter etc, but I have gone through the parts of the Leavenworth Times available on the UT-Tyler web site, and there sure are some entertaining tidbits in there.

DAILY TIMES [LEAVENWORTH, KS], September 6, 1864, p. 3, c. 1
We noticed the petite proportions of the Chief of Jayhawkers in the city yesterday. He is fresh
from the cattle stealing zone, but don't look much like a native. With his hat off he presents as
formidable an appearance as an enraged porcupine.

Is it safe to assume this is Jennison? How much work has been done on the big cattle stealing operation (from Indian Territory) in the last year of the Civil War? The Leavenworth Daily Times has some interesting "letters to the editor" on this subject. I think Castel mentions that Lane was behind it, trying to raise some campaign cash as I recall. Any suggestions on where to go for more info on this aspect?
