 " I have left Philadelphia, and am living, at present, about five 
 miles out of New York. For the last seven or eight months I have 
 been playing hermit in earnest — nor have I seen a living soul out of 
 my family — who are well, and desire to be kindly remembered. . . . 
 
 " You said to me, hurriedly, when we last met on the wharf in Phil- 
 adelphia, that you believed Robert Tyler really wished to give me the 
 post in the Custom House. This I also really think ! and I am con- 
 firmed in the opinion, that he could not, at all times, do as he wished 
 in such matters, by seeing Dunn English at the head of the " Aurora " 
 
 — a bullet-headed and malicious villain who has brought more odium 
 upon the Administration than any fellow (of equal littleness) in its 
 ranks — and who has been more indefatigably busy in both open and 
 secret villification of Robert Tyler, than any individual, little or big, 
 in America."

 Signed in full "Mrs. Sarah Helen Whitman." Eight

 " In yonder dim and pathless wood 
 
 Strange sounds are heard at twilight hour, 
 And peals of solemn music swell, 
 
 As from some Minster's lofty tower. 
 From age to age those sounds are heard, 
 
 Borne on the breeze at twilight hour, 
 From age to age no foot hath found 
 
 A pathway to the Minster's Tower." 
 
 1006 Poeana. — Poe, Neilson, a. I. s. 44 Baltimore, Nov. 1, 
 
 1849," to Dr. Griswold, with address and postmark. 
 
 Neilson Poe was the Poet's cousin and the " Mr. Poe of Baltimore,*' 
 who is referred to by Rosalie Poe. The letter is an interesting one 
 as the following extracts will show : 
 
 " The history of the last few days of his life is known to no one so 
 well as to myself, and is of touching and melancholy interest as well 
 of the most admonitory import. I think I can demonstrate that he 
 passed by a single indulgence from a condition of perfect sobriety to 
 one bordering upon the madness usually occasioned by long continued 
 intoxication. ... I have opened his trunk and find it to contain 
 very few manuscripts of value. The chief of them is a lecture upon 
 the poetic principle and some paragraphs prepared apparently for 
 some literary journal. There are, however, a number of books his own 
 works which are full of corrections by his own hand. These ought 
 undoubtedly to be placed in your hands." 
 
 1007 Poeana. Power of Attorney signed by Maria Clemm, 
 
 Poe's mother-in-law, " Oct. 15, 1849," one week after 
 Poe's death. Extremely interesting piece in perfect 
 state. 
 
 " Whereas I, the undersigned Maria Clemm, am the sole owner and 
 lawful possessor of the writings and literary remains of the late Ed- 
 gar A. Poe. . . . And whereas, it was the express wish and injunc- 
 tion of the author before his death that Dr. Rufus W. Griswold. 
 should compile and edit the same in case of their publication . . . 
 I have placed said writings in the hands of the said Dr. Rufus W. 
 Griswold."

 " S d Deponent testifyeth upon ye 2nd day of the week last past, 
 towards night, I was suddenly taken very ill and went to lye down 
 on a bed, soon after which there appeared to me the shape of some 
 woman, who seemed to look and speak most feircly & angrily, and 
 beat, pinched and afflicted me very sorely, telling me I should not 
 have said so, or told such thing & to that purpose : I cannot posi- 
 tively say whose shape it was I saw, first fitt. Ye next night after, I 
 was taken very ill again all over & felt a great prickling in ye soles of 
 my feet, and after a while I saw apparently the shape of Margaret 
 Scott, as I was sitting in a chair by ye fire, pulled me with ye chair 
 down backward to ye ground, and tormented and pinched me very 
 much, and I saw her go away at ye dor in which fit I was dumb and 
 so continued till ye next morning, finding a great load and heaviness 
 upon my tongue. In some of ye fitts that I had afterwards, I was 
 senseless, and knew not that I saw who it was that afflicted me. In 
 one fitt (upon ye beginning of it) I thought I saw Good'n Jackson 
 and Widow Scott come walking into the chamber with ye staves, one 
 of them came & sat upon me so that I could not stirr : Good'n Jack- 
 son I saw no more, nor know I yet she did me any harm. In another 
 fitt. I saw ye appearance s d Scott in ye room who afflicted me, and 
 being speechless, 1 continued so, untill I went to y e s d Scott, who 
 taking me by ye hand, I had ye liberty of speech again as formerly. 
 The last fitt I had was upon the last Sabb 01 day, in which I was saw 
 ye shapes of four women, or five, of whom widow Scott was one, ye 
 rest I knew not, nor knew that any did hurt me, unless s d widow 
 Scott."
