Text: Washington Irving to Edgar Allan Poe — before September 21, 1839


∞∞∞∞∞∞∞


[[. . . .]] I am much pleased with a tale called “The House of Usher,” and should think that a collection of tales, equally well written, could not fail of being favorably received. [[. . . .]] Its graphic effect is powerful. [[. . . .]]

Notes:

This brief excerpt from Irving’s letter was printed in the “advertisements” included in volume II of Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1840).
