Text: William Burke Wood to Edgar Allan Poe — January 2, 1841

Jany 2nd 1841

Dear Sir,

Pray do not think me careless of my promise to see or write to you before the end of the past week — but really I have been so much employed myself, and disappointed of the results of four letters important to my plans, that I must beg your further patience for a few days.

Very Respy Dr Sir

Your obt.
Wm. B. Wood  

E. J. [[A.]] Poe Esqr
