  <dc:title>Letter, Marc [Parrott] to Dear Edd [Edwin Parrott]</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>Marcus Parrott wrote from Leavenworth, Kansas Territory, to his brother, Edwin Parrott.  Marcus described the events of his ride home from a business meeting in Lawrence, where he encountered a funeral procession for his friend T. C. Shoemaker, who had been beaten to death for &quot;abusing&quot; Mayor William E. Murphy.  Marcus equated this murder to the assault on William Phillips in May 1855, and anticipated that there would only be a &quot;so-called&quot; trial for the men responsible.  He also told his brother to be prepared to come to Kansas Territory in April.</dc:description>
