Letter, F. B. Sanborn to My Dear Friend [Thomas Higginson] Author: Sanborn, Franklin Date: September 19, 1856 This letter, from Franklin Sanborn to Thomas Higginson, was written from Concord, Massachusetts. For the most part, Sanborn wrote about the prospects of raising money and men to support the Kansas cause. He also mentioned that Mr. Emerson had made a speech in Cambridge, Massachusetts--"it was a good speech but not well delivered." Many of the towns in the area were also making clothing to send to Kansas Territory. George Stearns was also making progress in his attempts to more fully organize a comprehensive state committee in Massachusetts. Location of Original: KSHS Call Number: Thomas W.
