Would he like to go out to Kansas for the summer?--to a land still occupied by wild Indians and buffalo? The idea of asking him such a question! There was nothing in the whole world he would like better!

The other was that they were to start on the third day from that time, while Binney would not go for nearly two weeks yet.
