Notes:

The two-part caption is taken from the protective tissue-paper page that covered the frontispiece, where it is printed in red ink.

Although stated as not having been printed in 1934, the letter was printed by J. S. Wilson in Century Magazine (March 1924); it is from Poe to Judge Beverly Tucker.
