The Governor thus enlightened, if not encouraged, as to the state of affairs in his realm, proceeded up the river in company with this first company of "Kansas militia," whom he had encountered.
His plan, as briefly detailed in the remainder of the letter, was to disband as rapidly as possible the present militia, to make a fresh enrollment of as many of the bona fide settlers as might be required, and, meantime, to have the force of United States troops at his disposal in the Territory increased.
The first to give formal welcome to the newly arrived Governor was Secretary Woodson, followed by the other Territorial officers who made Lecompton their official place of abode, the soldiers encamped there, and the motley throng who had congregated there as the only safe retreat so far in the enemy's country.
