Charles L. Robinson to Amos A. Lawrence, December 4, 1855

Lawrence, December 4, 1855.

Dear Sir, — We are invaded by order of Governor Shannon, but all will be right, I think. I have only time to thank you and the friends who sent us the Sharps rifles, for they have given us, and will give us, the victory without firing a shot. We need, however, one or two hundred more of the same sort.

In haste, very respectfully,
C. Robinson.
