Letter signed J. Gillespie, Edwardsville, to J.F. Darby. Compliments Darby on his article regarding the establishment of Lafayette Park. Vindicating the truth of history is a sacred duty.

If history was compiled in ancient times with as little regard to truth as it seems to be today, the world is depending upon a broken stick. [filed in 1876 May-Dec], 1876 Aug 2
