EDGAR ALLAN POE (5th S. V. 386) — Engravings of his monument have appeared in several of the illustrated papers. The “newspaper cutting” quoted by MR. MATTHEWS differs from several newspaper reports forwarded to me at the time of the disinterment of Poe's remains, but I should not have called attention to it but from the fact that it alludes to Mrs. Clemm as the mother of the poet's “first wife.” Permit me to inform his “English admirers” that Poe was but once married, and then to his cousin, Virginia Clemm.
JOHN H. INGRAM.

Notes:
Ingram appears to have been aware only of the final resting place of Poe's Memorial Grave, and not the somewhat complicated process by which it ultimately arrived there. Although there was no real effort to hide or cover up the early shifting of plans for placement of the memorial grave, there was also no effort to emphasize it, nor any reason to do so.
