Thomas Hopkins Webb to Thaddeus Hyatt
Webb, Thomas H. (Thomas Hopkins), 1801-1866
In this letter, written in Boston, Massachusetts by Thomas Webb, the author stated his concerns about the outcome of the situation in Kansas. He did applaud the efforts of free state settlers to ensure the existence of liberty; however, he felt that not enough New Englanders were serious about keeping slavery out of Kansas Territory. Webb also states that the Delaware land sale had been postponed until November 17, 1856. The land in question was previously land that had been granted to the Delaware tribe by the U.S. Government.
