Letter, Henry H. Williams to Capt'n. [John] Brown Author: Williams, Henry H. Date: October 12, 1857 With regard to the recent legislative election, Henry Williams of Osawatomie informed Brown that "it went off right" largely because the Free State men were throughly organized for their protection and the protection of the ballot box. Williams himself led a company of 80 men and believe word of the preparedness contributed to a quiet and successful election day.
