Published: 1855
Place of publication: Boston
Language: eng
Subjects: Antislavery movements; Land settlement; Emigration and immigration
Notes: An open letter "To the citizens of Missouri" to correct some misrepresentations about the New England Emigrant Aid Society: 1. they do not recruit armies, but aid those people who are paying their own way to settle the territory; 2. the settlers are not sent to burn and plunder; 3. the settlers intend to remain in Kansas past the time of elections and the Society is providing the aid needed to stay. The text is similar to "To the people of the United States" and "To the honorable Senate of the United States" by the same group. Signed by John Carter Brown, President; Eli Thayer, J.M.S. Williams, Vice-Presidents; Amos A. Lawrence, Treasurer; Thomas Webb, Secretary; and eighteen Directors.
