  <dc:title>Report of the Committee of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>This report, issued by the founders of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company, devotes itself in part to communicating the objectives and mission of the Company, which primarily was to protect persons emigrating West from scams and other &quot;knavery&quot;. The report also includes a few journal-style entries by Charles Robinson regarding his experiences in Nebraska and Kansas in 1849. Following Robinson&apos;s accounts are various excerpted newspaper articles and letters endorsing the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Company.</dc:description>
