  <dc:description>Robert Atkins Tovey, Sr, having arrived in &quot;Kanzas&quot; Territory, wrote to his wife, Eliza (Matthew) Tovey, at their home in Albany, New York. Tovey described his working and living conditions, calling his Native American boss &quot;most pleasant&quot; and his living arrangements &quot;comfortable,&quot; though infested with rats.  Tovey, also a preacher,  mentioned that the Methodist Church, the single place of worship in town, was willing to share their space with other denominations.</dc:description>
