Little is known about Leo
Spitzer, who was living in New York in 1891. Spitzer published an article,
signed with the same closing and address as this letter, around the same time as
he wrote this letter. The article describes the February 1891 funeral procession
for William Tecumseh Sherman, who served as a general in the Union Army during
the Civil War. See Leo Spitzer, "William Tecumseh Sherman," The National Echo: Devoted to the Sons and Daughters of Veterans
3.3–5 (March, April, & May 1891), 7.
