4pp., folded 4to sheet. 4pp., folded 4to sheet. The letter begins by apologizing for not writing to the former governor (now Commissioner of Indian Affairs) and discusses problems with the current governor Medary. "The Democrats in Doniphan & Leavenworth Counties never appeared to claim their seats although I kept every think open until the last minute and all my plans went for nothing for the want of cooperation, never being able to bring the contestants or our friends to the scratch and as they did not appear at all it was not worth while to make myself ridiculous by attempting an impossibility." Walsh next reveals that he has orchestrated a deal for the printing of the journals of the session to his political benefit: "In making the contract with Joel R. Goodin for the printing I subserved two ends. I kept it out of their hands, first and second the profits will be used to furnish the material for another democratic press at Centropolis this summer." After discussing another printer in Lecompton he writes: "With regard to the pOst officer here I have somewhat changed my views . They are both good democrats both good business men, but if party interest is to be subserved Huson is the man, and we ought to make every edge cut to build up the party in this territory." He continue with his discussion of party politics in the territory: "They have organized the Republican party and it is necessary for us to be at work. We held a caucus a few evenings since to endeavor to unite on some plan of operations for conuducting the campaign. The Bill for the convention will pass over the Governor's veto . Since matters have got settled I am becoming quite popular and the fawning cringing sycophants attempt by flattery what they could not obtain by force. So I let them lay it on thick & at a supper party the other night I with the help of a bucket of champagne had the most radical of the party under the table and on the floor and in any and every position that I wished." Hugh Sleight Walsh (1810-1877), was a native of New York who but also lived for a time in Alabama before coming to Kansas Territory in 1857. In Kansas, Walsh worked as a private secretary, first to Frederick P. Stanton and later to James W. Denver, with whom he appears to have cultivated a close political relationship. On May 12, 1858, Walsh became the territorial secretary, replacing Denver, who had vacated the position to become territorial governor. As territorial secretary, Walsh had the job of serving as acting governor when necessary. Walsh helped the border ruffians in their efforts against Captain James Montgomery, and developed a poor reputation among Free Staters before his eventual retirement from office in June of 1860.

4pp., recto on 4 folio sheets. 4pp., recto on 4 folio sheets. The letter begins by updating Denver on reports from Major Sherman and Captain Weaver before turning to events in the territory: "The Territory appears quiet and your resignation is deprecated by all parties. Calhoun still withholds the certificates of election and it is now too late for their issuance to do any good. The free state men cannot be made to believe in his integrity adn his authorizing the Wyandott paper to publish his intention of so doing has only added another shade to the infamy which already attacks his character. No explanation can be made and I cannot endure a scoundrel who needlessly betrays his friends into a false position and whose every act belies every apology that can be made for him." The letter continues regarding the appointment of a sheriff and continues: "I am maturing a plan to lay before you on your return which if it can be effected and which in any other country would be feasible, for a complete police organization throughout the territory. If this can be accomplished Kansas Territory can be governed without a soldier or any military expense to the general government." Walsh discusses problems with Marshall Farris and the difficulty of finding officers to serve under him to combat violence in the region. "Davis has already arrested two men in Wyandott or rather prosecuted them since their arrest before the magistrate one of whom is bound over and the other committed to close custody, both are killings or attempts to kill and both are free state men." The letter closes with a discussion of Stanton and his support for Black Republicans. Usual folds. With the original mailing envelope.…
