Introduction

In this letter to editors of the pro-suffrage newspaper the Daily Express, Thomas Dorr requests that they publish several documents relating to the People's Government. Dorr had returned to the state in order to re-convene the Peoples’ Legislature at Chepachet. In addition to calling for the legislature to meet, Dorr also requests that vacancies be filled by new elections. In addition to the letter, this document contains two enclosures, a proclamation and a set of general orders.
