South Attleborough Mass. June 1/45
Dear Sir,
I have longed often heretofore to send you some lines for your "Journal", but I was uncertain whether your plan would admit of their publication, (if worthy of it.) but having seen, in a few Nos. sent my [[me]] by the publisher, lately, that you do publish anonymous poems I venture to send you the enclosed Lines; -- which, print, or burn, as you think they deserve.
Is Leigh Hunt's "Imagination and Fancy" a true book for me to depend upon? - I have not yet read it.
I wish to see your estimation of it.
With good wishes
Your friend.
A. M. Ide, Jr.
E. A. Poe Esq
