Daniel Bryan, Alexandria, DC. (VA), autograph letter signed to Edgar Allan Poe, 26 July 1842
Description:
Discusses a mistaken reference to Poe in the Washington Independent. Asks about the establishment of the Penn Magazine. Thinks the second edition of The Poets of America is a trade trick, and Griswold's "Sights from My Window" [Graham's Magazine, June 1842] "mere doggerel." Offers a critique of the latter for publication.
