Platt Rogers Spencer, Letter to W D Fuller, front, 1862 Geneva Mar. 5, 1862 Friend W. D. Fuller I have recd two nos of the Rochester Ia Mercury, both indicating you are guiding the youth of your village to a better knowledge of the “Art of Arts”—and by pencilling indications of a column of No 100—I opine you may have drawn the scathing defense of the expulsion of Bright from the Federal Senate. Well success to you in both these several occupations! Ignorance is in a great measure banished by the dissemination of the art _ and safety to our Beloved Country is only purchased by that “Eternal Vigilance” which “is the price of Liberty. I closed in Ashtabula 10 days ago, and am now writing a Book for engraving, and teaching 4 students. Nothing new in Jericho. Mrs. Spencer remains as when you were here— Writer Platt Rogers Spencer [1] Date written 1862 Paper x in x x in Pen Penmanship Style Spencerian File name Spencer Platt Rogers 1800-001-001-001
