He once wrote after a trip that "he re- ceived in compensation $100 in money, cotton handkerchief and a pair of socks and a good conscience, feeling he was about His Master's business." He went to Kansas in 1855, helped lay out Manhattan, Kan. was chaplain of the first free state legislature of Kansas then at Lecompton.
