EDGAR ALLAN POE TO JOHN NEAL — SEPTEMBER 4, 1835
My Dear Sir,
Herewith I send a number of the Southern Literary Messenger, a Magazine of which I have lately obtained the Editorship. Do you think you could send me regularly in exchange, The Galaxy or any other paper of wh: [which] you have the control? I should be extremely glad to hear from you, altho’ I suppose you have almost forgotten our former correspondence. When you reply to this I will write you more fully — for I have much to tell you.
Very truly & respectfully Yours
Edgar A. Poe
