[Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Henry Beck Hirst - May 3, 1848.]


New-York: May 3, 48.

My Dear Hirst,

Your letter came to hand but not your Prospectus--so that I am still in the dark as to what you mean to do. Send me a Prospectus in a letter-envelope. It is more than possible, however, that I will be in Philadelphia before the week is out:--but at all events send the Prospectus.

I am glad to hear that you are getting out "Endymion", of which you must know that I think highly--very highly--if I did fall asleep while hearing it read.

I live at Fordham, Westchester Co:--14 miles from the city by rail-road. The cars leave from the City Hall. Should you have any trouble about finding me, inquire at the office of the "Home Journal" --or "Union Magazine."

Truly your friend

Edgar A Poe.
