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.
