In this letter addressed "Dear Brother," Rogers informs Fritz of the murder of newspaper editor James King by rival editor James P. Casey in San Francisco, and the ensuing excitement in the city regarding the capture of Casey and fellow conspirator Charles Cora, with the eventual involvement of the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The two-page letter is written on pages three and four of a four-page pamphlet, with the first page containing a printed account of the incident, entitled "The Revolution of the People: Surrender of James P. Casey & Charles Cora To the Vigilance Committe, on Sunday, May 18th, 1856," beneath an engraving signed by Charles P. Huestis.
