Text: Edgar Allan Poe to E. L. Carey or John Hart — December 9, 1839 (LTR-086)

Dr Sir,

Mr Burton mentioned to me, before going to Charleston, that you were good enough to promise him a Chapter from Marryatt's forthcoming work, for the Jan: No. of our Mag: The Chapter was, I believe, one on “Migration & Emigration”. Will you please let me have it, if convenient, by the bearer?

Resply
E A. Poe

Mr Carey or Mr Hart.
