Summary
Saying he would enjoy reading the manuscript of Wagenknecht's Edgar Allan Poe: The Man Behind the Legend; adding that, if Wagenknecht uses the "coop story," he wants it recorded that he "consider[s] it a pure canard"; mentioning that the first volume of the Belknap Press Complete Poe is passing through the stage of edited copy; saying that, in Poe's "To Helen," "Nicean" just means "victorious," and dates from 1770.
