Of these, all above the first line are already sent — the notices, I mean. Of those marked thus, √, I now send autographs. You will see that I send an autograph of all included in the May No. with the exception of Dr. Frances: — and him I will supply to-morrow. For the article intended for the June No. There are 3 signatures wanting — viz: Maroncelli, Verplanck, and Cheever; and unless you have these, or can get them at once, perhaps it will be better to leave out these names for the present. Suppose you put in the June No. Mrs. Mowatt, Halleck, Epes Sargent, Anthon, and Miss Fuller, in the order I write them: — I send the signatures of all of these. After that, no special order need be observed — put them in as you get the autographs done.
N.B. I send you James Lawson with an L. between the names. It should be simply James Lawson.
It is possible that some on the list I shall be forced to omit, for want of room.
Thank you for the prompt payment of the 4 drafts.
Very cordially yours
Edgar A Poe.
