Letter, Marc [Parrott] to Dear Edd [Edwin Parrott]Marcus Parrott wrote from Washington, D.C. to his brother, Edwin Parrott, in Ohio. Marcus began his letter berating his brother for his inconsistent correspondence; he himself, though very busy, managed to write Edwin regularly. Marcus also voiced his frustration with Congress, declaring this to be his last week as a Delegate, and predicted that both Republicans' and Democrats' stubbornness would cause the country to permanently divide. Kansas would become a state on January 29, only three days later.1861-01-26Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins)1801-1866CreatorcreThis item was part of Territorial Kansas Online (TKO# 101983).
