[Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Evert A. Duyckinck (?) - January 30, 1846.]


[. . . .]

Have you any personal acquaintance with Carey (John Waters) ? If so will you be kind enough to note me, in brief, a few memoranda respg his personal appearance, age, residence etc?--the same about W. A. Jones. Is Herbert living in N. Y?--if so, where? Where does Hoffman live? in what street I mean. Do you know where Hoyt & Hunt live?--or Inman--or Mancur--or Gen. Morris-- or O'Sullivan--or Paulding--or Prof. Robinson of the Un, or Verplanck--or Tuckerman. Do you know Stephens the traveller so as to describe him? Please describe Schoolcraft & tell me where he lives--and Cheever, if you can. A very few words abt each will suffice.

Have you seen Tupper's notice of my Tales yet? if so--how is it? long or short--sweet or sour?--if you have it, please lend it me. I send this note by Mrs C. Should she not see you, can't you contrive to step in at 85 Amity St--some time to-day or tomorrow?

Truly Yours

Poe.

Jan 30.
