The Thursday 29th October edition of the Derby Mercury carried an article which reported that anonymous letters were once again appearing across the region:
We are sorry to find that anonymous letters are again in circulation. A Gentleman who has been noticed in this way both last winter, and very lately, begs to reply in the words of the poet:—"Merses profundo pulchrior evenit;" which (for the information of all anonymous letter writers) he will translate thus:—"Plunge men or women, into the Gulph of Tartarus for the sake of making Devils of them, and they will come out from thence adorn'd with the brightness of Angels."
