New-York Aug. 31 -- 1847My Dear Sir,
It is now a month since I wrote you about the two articles I left with you--but, as I have heard nothing from you, I can only suppose that my letter has not reached you--or, at all events, that, in the press of other business, you have forgotten it and me.
In it, after thanking you (as I do again most sincerely) for your late kindness to me in Phila, I begged an answer in respect to the articles--mentioning $40 as the sum in which the Magazine would be indebted to me in case of their acceptance, and asking permission to draw for that amount.--I owed Mr Graham $50 (as nearly as I can remember) and the papers, at the old price, would come to 90.
May I beg of you to reply, as soon as convenient, and oblige
Hon R. T. Conrad.
Yours very cordially
Edgar A. Poe
