  <dc:title>Letter, S.T. Learnard to Dear Son [Oscar 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.  S.T. commented on a proposition made to him by Oscar concerning his taking over Oscar&apos;s business in Kansas while Oscar himself would go West for gold mining.  Oscar&apos;s father advised against this, and made other suggestions as to how his own accounts, as well as his son&apos;s, could be managed profitably. S. T. also asked about the state of the Territorial Legislature, dubbed the Border Ruffians &quot;imps of darkness,&quot; and encouraged Oscar to continue the fight for liberty.</dc:description>
