text_original: Studying Art in London With a letter from Franklin to Benjamin West, Fulton set out for London, where he landed early in 1787. He had about two himdred dollars in his pocket, not a large simi with which to get an education; but lack of money has never been a bar to young men of character and energy. Benjamin West received the young man with kindness, and in addition to giving him instruction, helped him in other ways.
