Philadelphia. June 4. [[June 3.]]
My Dear Sir
As you gave me the first jog in my literary career, you are in a measure bound to protect me & keep me rolling. I therefor now ask you to aid me with your influence, in whatever manner your experience shall suggest.
It strikes me that I never write you except to ask a favor, but my friend Thomas will assure you that I bear you always in mind — holding you in the highest respect and esteem.
Most truly yours
Edgar A Poe
John Neal Esqr
