LEA AND BLANCHARD TO EDGAR ALLAN POE — OCTOBER 30, 1839
October 30, 1839
Edgar A. Poe Esqr., — The printing of a few extra copies of your tales on fine paper would be very troublesome to the printer. But if he is willing, we have no objection to six copies being printed at your cost.
We designed sending 20 copies of the edition to you on publication for private distribution.
