Dr Sir,Learning your design of commencing a Magazine, in Boston, upon the first of January next, I take the liberty of asking whether some arrangement might not be made, by which I should become a regular contributor.
I should be glad to furnish a short article each month--of such character as might be suggested by yourself--and upon such terms as you could afford "in the beginning".
That your success will be marked and permanent I will not doubt. At all events, I most sincerely wish you well; for no man in America has excited in me so much of admiration--and, therefore, none so much of respect and esteem--as the author of "Rosaline".
May I hope to hear from you at your leisure? In the meantime, believe me,
James Russell Lowell Esqre
Philadelphia Novem: 16. 1842.
Most Cordially yours Edgar Allan Poe
