 Title:  Poe Collection: Letter from Edgar Allan Poe to John Allan, 1829 May 29  
 Published:  1999 
 Description: I am now going to make a request different from any I have ever yet made - As I wrote you, sometime since, I have been several times to visit Mr. Wirt, who had treated me with great kindness & attention. I sent him, for his opinion, a day or two ago, a poem which I have written since I left home -& in the letter which I now enclose you have his opinion upon its merits -From such a man as Mr. Wirt the flattering char- acter he has given of the work, will surely be to you a recommendation in its favor. In the conclusion of the letter you will see that he advises me to "get a personal intro- duction to Mr. Walsh" the editor of the Ame- rican Quarterly Review & get his interest in my favor -that interest, and his highest encomiums on the poem are already obtained as Editor of the Review he promises to notice it which will assure it, if not of popularity, of success.
