Letter, J. H. Kagi to "My dear father" Author: Kagi, John Henry Date: March 3, 1857 Once again, from Topeka, Kagi wrote his father that his long planned trip to Nebraska City had to be delayed, this time because of high water on the "Kaw river" that "prohibited my crossing" and the state convention, which started in one week.
