The Last Letters of Edgar Allan Poe to Sarah Helen Whitman

The Last Letters Of Edgar Allan Poe To Sarah Helen Whitman. INTRODUCTION. In publishing the following correspondence between Mrs. Sarah Helen Whitman and Edgar Allan Poe exactly as it occurs in the original MSS., without change or alteration of any kind, the editor feels that he is not dealing with a hackneyed subject, but one which, in its present fom, is almost entirely new. For the first time this celebrated courtship, involving one of the loveliest women and the most talked of poet of their day, is revealed in full, with all the authenticity possible to accurately copied MSS., and the most scrupulous care taken in abstaining from editing, adding, or condensing in any shape or form. The result is honorable alike to both sides.
