Text-03 — “To — —” — about 1828
— “Wilmer” manuscript — (Mabbott text B) (one page of this manuscript appears to be missing)
Text-04 — “To — —” — 1829 — (speculated revised manuscript made in
preparation of ATMP. The changes present in Text-05 are sufficiently significant, including the restoration of one stanza,
that they were probably not simply made in the typesetting process or in evaluating proof-sheets. Additional changes may have been
made as the publication stages proceeded. Since Poe was living in Baltimore at the time of publication, it is likely that he had the
opportunity to see and review proof copy, particularly since he was paying for the publication.)

this poem in his article “The Unknown Poetry of Edgar Poe,” in Belgravia for June 1876, presumably because it was
already known from later forms.)
