son wrote to Brattleboro that the news from Kansas grew worse every day, and after describing various household economies she said, Money is very scarce, and everything goes to Kansas, I believe. Then she told of a Kansas Sewing Circle which is to meet every P. M. . . . Mrs. Le B. has begun the first pair of pants! . . . Martha Le B. says she shall sew all day for Kansas and the evenings for Anti-Slavery fair! Meantime, the traveller wrote from Lawrence, September 28, to his friend, Dr. Seth Rogers (afterward surgeon of his regiment):— Yesterday morning I waked at Topeka and found the house surrounded by dragoons.
