  <dc:title>Letter, Thos. A Hendricks to Dear Sir [Gov. James  W. Denver]</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>Thomas Hendricks wrote from Washington D. C. to Governor James Denver in Lecompton, Kansas Territory, providing his reaction to news of recent events in Kansas Territory.  Hendricks referred to James Lane&apos;s duel challenge to Denver, and advised Denver to &quot;give him a thrashing&quot; should he have trouble with Lane again.  Hendricks expressed his wish that the &quot;Kansas question&quot; should be resolved as soon as possible, and he speculated on the outcome of the bill in Congress which proposed the recognition of the Lecompton Constitution.</dc:description>
