Wishes to know if he will be put on trial in Kansas, since the time set for his treason trial is approaching, and he must return if a trial takes place. Conviction of another free state man, despite little evidence.
Hears there is a warrant for him, and worries if he returns he may be unfairly convicted on new charges, so he may not come regardless. Promises that if there is a trial and he does not attend, he will send money to help Whitney.
