[Text: Edgar Allan Poe to Louis A. Godey - January 17, 1848.]

New-York -- Jan: 17. 48

Dr Sir,

What do you say to an article? I have one which I think may please you. Shall I send it and draw as usual? -- deducting, of course, the $5 you were so kind as to loan me when in Philadelphia. Please reply --

Truly yours,

Edgar A. Poe

L. A. Godey Esqr

P.S. The article is imaginative -- not critical -- and will make rather more than 5 pp.

[A partial printing of this letter was given in Ostrom's 1848 collection of Poe's letters. The full text of the letter was first printed by Ostrom in his 1974 supplement to his collection of the letters, p. 532.]
