  <dc:title>Letter, C. Robinson to Dear Sir [John Calhoun, Esq.]</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Webb, Thomas H. (Hopkins) , 1801-1866 (Creator)</dc:creator>
  <dc:description>Charles Robinson wrote to John Calhoun, the Surveyor General in Lecompton, about the paperwork that he himself had filed the last year regarding a &quot;float&quot; ownership in Lawrence, Kansas Territory. Robinson had found that the ownership notice was not on file with the government, and was sending Calhoun proof of ownership in an attempt to correct the problem. John Calhoun was an avid pro-slavery supporter, having once said that he was &quot;too lazy to work&quot; and &quot;wanted the negroes to do it for him&quot;.</dc:description>
