Dr Sir,

It has been suggested to the Proprietor of the Southern Literary Messenger that an application in its behalf, individually, to one or two of your most influential citizens, would meet with a favourable result. I therefore take the liberty of addressing you this letter, and soliciting, in the name, and for the sake of Southern Literature, your interest and good offices for the Magazine.

The February number, as a specimen, is forwarded herewith.

Very respy.
Yr. Ob. St.
Edgar A. Poe.
