Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Edward I. Thomas — about July 5, 1845 (LTR-202)

Office of the Broadway Journal

Sir, —

As I have not had the pleasure of hearing from you since our interview at your office, may I ask of you to state to me distinctly, whether I am to consider the charge of forgery urged by you against myself, in the presence of a common friend, as originating with yourself or Mr. Benjamin?

Your ob. Serv’t.,
Edgar A. Poe

Edward J. Thomas, Esq.
