[Text: Elizabeth F. Ellet to E. A. Poe - December 16, 1845]


Do not use in any way the memorandum about the So. Ca. College. Excuse the repeated injunction - but as you would not decipher my German manuscript - I am fearful of some other mistake.


[The letter is addressed: "Edgar A. Poe. Esq [[/]] Office of the Broadway Journal" and postmarked "U. S. City Despatch Post [[/]] Dec. 16 [[/]] 1 O'Clock." Written along one edge on the back of the letter, in an unknown hand, is the partial and slightly incorrect, translation of the earlier German note: "I have a letter for you . Will you be so kind to call upon me this evening after 8 [[sic]] o'clock."]]
