In a letter to the editor of the Sangamo Journal, a disgruntled George W. Robinson commented on the confusing status of the editorship of the Wasp, sarcastically stating that because of “the dozen would be editors, who are prowling and loafing about the printing office, it would be difficult to ascertain the editors!” (“Letter from Col. Robinson,” Sangamo Journal [Springfield, IL], 26 Aug. 1842, [2], italics in original; “To the Public,” Wasp, 8 Oct. 1842, [2]; see also Crawley, Descriptive Bibliography, 1:192–193.)
