 Title:  Poe Collection: Letter from Edgar Allan Poe to John Allan, 1833 April 12  
 Published:  1999 
 Description: It has now been more than two years[1] since you have assisted me and more than three years since you have spoken to me. I feel little hope that you will pay any regard to this letter, but still I cannot refrain from making one more attempt to interest you in my behalf. If you will only consider in what a situation I am placed you will surely pity me - without friends, without any means, consequently of obtaining employment, I am perishing -absolutely perishing for want of aid. And yet I am not idle -nor addicted to any vice -nor have I committed any offence against society which would render me deserving of so hard a fate. For God's sake pity me, and save me from destruction.
