Letter, H. F. Parker to Hiram Hill Esq Author: Parker, Henry F. Date: November 15, 1858 Henry Parker wrote from Lawrence, Kansas Territory, to Hiram Hill in Massachusetts. Parker reported that currently he was only able to collect $33.33 in rent from Hill's tenants, a small fraction of what was owed.
