"Cannot your secret society send
us 200 Sharps rifles as a loan till
this question is settled? Also a
couple of field-pieces? If they will
do that, I think they will be well
used, and preserved."
- Charles L. Robinson, from letter
to Eli Thayer, April 2, 1855,
regarding the largely unarmed
Free State settlers to defend
against the Border Ruffians.
