Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Thomas H. Chivers — July 14, 1848 (LTR-274)

Fordham — Westchester Co — July 13. [[14]] 48.

My Dear Friend,

I have just returned from an excursion to Lowell: — this is the reason why I have not been to see you. My mother will leave this note at your hotel in the event of your not being in when she calls. I am veryanxious to see you — as I propose going on to Richmond on Monday. Can you not come out to Fordham & spend tomorrow & Sunday with me? We can talk over matters, then, at leisure. The cars for Fordham leave the depot at the City Hall almost every hour — distance 14 miles[.]

Truly Yours
Poe.
