July 1868

Jack receives a letter from a Chicago man saying that men there are looking for railroad work. Constituents of the proposed Territory of Wyoming write Casement (their as yet unseated representative) regarding a man they recommend for U.S. District Attorney. On July 25, the Territory of Wyoming was established. H.M. Slade writes to Casement of his desire to be named Secretary of Wyoming Territory. The Casement's third child, Dan Dillon, was born July 13. Before the end of the month, Jack was back at work on the railroad.
