Dear friend.
  I wish you could be here even for a few days to start the men in the plan you proposed. We have been talking with them about the benefits which this movement will bring them. They seem to understand it well, they want to organize right away. Mr Tibbles has been speaking in Bancroft and Pender to the white people, he has been telling them if they would raise $50 to take him to Washington he would have Congress to make the Omahas citizens so the whites could go and lease their lands and live among them. A few took stock in his talk and gave him about $60.
