Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 January 1884 — Bob Ingersol's Mail. [ARTICLE]

Bob Ingersol's Mail.

It is a noteworthy fact that an Amorisan citizen who is fortunate enough to acquire anything like notoriety is certain to be inundated with floods of letters. Out of the entire number received there is hardly ever one that has the slightest interest or value. Col. Ingersoll receives every day enough letters in the way of advice, suggestion and argument to make the fortune of a junkshop. I was in his office not long ago when he received a brief note from an Ohio man covering ninety closely written pages of foolscap, pasted end to end, so as to make a long roll. -The writer desired to have a little friendly argument with the Colonel and his letter was the first installment.
