Mr John Keese,Dr Sir,
Permit me to thank you for the many expressions of good will in your letter of the 24th--also for the books you were so kind as to send me a few days before--very especially for Mrs Smith's beautiful Poems.
It will give me great pleasure to hand you, in the course of this week, a brief article for "The Opal".
With respect & esteem,
Yr Ob. St.
Edgar A Poe
May 26.th.
