EDGAR ALLAN POE TO EVERT A. DUYCKINCK — SEPTEMBER 10, 1845
I leave for you what I think the best of my Poems. They are very few — including those only which have not been published in volume form. If they can be made to fill a book, it will be better to publish them alone — but if not, I can hand you some “Dramatic Scenes” from the S. L. Messenger (2d Vol) and “Al Aaraaf” and “Tamerlane,” two juvenile poems of some length.
Truly yours
Poe.
