Letter, Marc [Parrott] to Dear Edd [Edwin Parrott] Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator) Marcus Parrott wrote from Leavenworth, Kansas Territory, to his brother, Edwin Parrott, regarding recent events, which were "unfathomably deep in the waters of territorial trouble". He described the movement of armed men towards Lawrence, a mix of U.S. troops and militiamen from Missouri. Marcus also referred to the current situations of Robinson, Reeder, Lane, and other men who were to play important roles in the imminent Sack of Lawrence. Despite these threats, Marcus still commented on his own economic situation and again asked for money from his brother and father. This item was part of Territorial Kansas Online (TKO# 101960).
