Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Annie L. Richmond (?) — about March 1, 1849 (LTR-307a)

[[. . . .]] — Your letter (one of them) was dated the 18th: — how, then, did you ever see, or know anything about the Valentine from which you quote, when it was not published until 3d March — that is, it was issued in the “Flag” dated 3d March, but which was issued the Saturday prvious — Feb. 24. How did you see it so early as Feb. 18.? — The Flag has 2 of my tales now — Hop-Frog & another called “X-ing a Paragrab”: — guess what that is about if you can! “The Bells” will appear in Sartain's Mag. (The Union) [[. . . .]]

May God forever bless you.
