  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>Josiah Miller, making arrangements for his parents&apos; journey from South Carolina to Kansas Territory, wrote to his father and mother from his office at the Kansas Free State newspaper.  He told them of his need to purchase personal arms for his own protection and described to them a recent situation of election fraud.  Miller also wrote that his goal, as a newspaper editor, was to &quot;move men to support the Free State ticket.&quot;  He added that he was having a falling out with Robert Elliott, his business partner.</dc:description>
