LETTER NUMBER TWENTY
Baits Nov 1 8 th 1829
Dear Pa,
I duly rec*? your letter enclosing a check for $80, for
which I am truly thankful This will be quite sufficient
for all the expenditures you mention but I am afraid if
I purchase a piece of linen of which I am much in want
I shall have none left for pocket money & if you could
get me a piece or a \ piece at My Gait's & send it to me
by the boat, I could get it made up gratis by my Aunt
Maria
The Poems will be printed by Hatch & Dunning of
this city upon terms advantageous to me they printing
it & giving me 250 copies of the book : I will send
it on by M r Dunning who is going immediately to
Richmond
I am glad to hear that your trip to the Springs was
of service in recruiting your health & spirits
Give my love to Miss V.
I remain Dear Pa,
Yours affectionately
Edgar A Poe
