  <dc:title>Letter, S.T. Learnard to Dear Son [Oscar E. Learnard]</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>S.T. Learnard wrote from Bakersfield, Vermont, to his son, Oscar Learnard of Kansas Territory, in this transcribed version of his letter.  Learnard told Oscar of his desire to move the rest of the family to Kansas Territory, if only at least to see his &quot;much praised and extolled land.&quot;  He also commented on the recent slowing of the economy, and gave Oscar business advice.  Throughout S.T. Learnard&apos;s letter, his strong opposition to slavery in Kansas is made clear.</dc:description>
