Text: Edgar Allan Poe to John Pendleton Kennedy — February 1, 1844 (LTR-168a)

My Dear Sir,

Some matters which would not be put off, have taken me to Elkton — so that I shall not have the pleasure of dining with you to-day, as proposed. Before leaving Baltimore, however, I hope to give you another call.

Most truly yours.
Edgar A. Poe

John P. Kennedy Esqre

Thursday Morning. 7. A.M.
