If you read the letter you will see that the person who wrote it does not agree with slavery expansion into the territory, yet they still seem pretty informed of Morton's investments there. They also tell him about the RR and how it will make him the big bucks when it gets there. I would say that was some good information to get out of Washington in 1856 considering that the Pacific Railroad Surveys were conducted from 1853 through 1855. BUT to have gotten it before 1855 was extremely LUCKY right?The money involved became present somehow and a clear path was somehow researched perfectly and the funds were already invested in before April of 1856! Let that sink in for as long as it takes to see the light. It seems to me that slavery and the expansion of it was not as big an issue between birds of a feather as people seem to think it was, especially when the placement of money was concerned between the birds in question. It would also enlighten a person to know the "little property" that the writer thanks "Nuckolls" for helping him obtain was in more than one state and not as "little" as you might imagine. Favors between men that were just good friends? I think not.

PS. Now read the written works and compare it to the information I have posted in the above two posts. It is pretty easy to see that some pretty important things have been left out of the history book. Now who is trying to print the whole truth? Them or Me? https://books.google.com/books?id=2...nepage&q=lewis cass and Julius morton&f=false
