Ex Governor George W. P. Hunt describes Siam's capital punishment methods from Bangkok. He notes beheadings with a sword and other torturous processes, recalls a past English subject hanged by Siamese officials, and mentions the king's death warrant required before a execution. He contrasts Siamese brutality with English advisory views, and comments on cruelty perceived in beheading versus choking. The letter closes with notes on U.S. ranchers stocking dairy cattle and Colorado river farmers planting sugar beets.
