  <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 Manhattan, Kansas Territory, to his brother, Edwin Parrott. Marcus had been traveling around Fort Riley and prepared for a trip from Manhattan to Topeka. He asked his brother how his election went, and contrasted what must be Edwin&apos;s election experience with his own, over which the &quot;fear of a fraudulent defeat&quot; always hovered. Despite this fear of fraud, Marcus stated that his Black Republican friends would support him, &quot;ready to correct any errors&quot;.</dc:description>
