Omaha
July 17th 1859
Friend John
I returned on Saturday night from the Pawnee chase and found your several letters awaiting my return.
Nothing is being done with Land Warrants to speak of, but I will immediately make out a statement and forward you all proceeds of sales.
Shall go down the River again in a few days. Warrants sell @ 93-95 now and few in town. No persons here entering land.
All well, whipt the Indians, traveled 400 miles and had a hard time.
Yours truly
J McConihe
