Some \"items,\" such as A-22, include specifications of their contents, the contents identified as 1-67, while other items have their contents designated alphabetically, such as A-163, which includes A-L. There are three items in box 6 designated as X-123, X-124, and X-126. These items appear to have been added after the inventory. Item numbers were written on folders or directly on the items.

Land records are of private individuals, corporations, and general surveys of the County, as well as a few records on the Deakins Line on the border of West Virginia (then Virginia) and Maryland. There are also some personal papers and correspondence of Preston County residents, including Israel Baldwin and Julius K. Monroe, and the Fairfax family.  ","This collection consists of two parts: the original accession and the 1996 addendum. The original collection includes boxes 1-7 and 1 reel of microfilm. Boxes 1-5 are primarily land records from Preston County, and include land in Monongalia and Harrison Counties. The collection includes early papers relating to land, court cases, mills and furnaces, post offices, inns, mineral development, Morgantown and Kingwood Railroad Company, roads, the Virginia-Maryland boundary, and estate settlements. Boxes 6-7 are almost exclusively maps and surveys, and the materials are primarily from circa 1900-1915. The microfilm reel is a copy of a 1909 Map of Kingwood (item A-24); the original was returned after being filmed. Five of the seven photographs are available digitally. The 1996 addendum is box 8. This box is exclusively photocopies of the loaned materials, no original materials exist. These materials were the papers of Julius Kemble Monroe, a surveyor in Preston County.  ","Both the originals and the addendum may have at one point been the papers of Monroe, but the original accession was donated by the Preston County Court through the Leroy Bucklew Museum. The papers in this collection include court records, but seem to have been returned to the court from private citizens. As a result, the records in this collection include the kinds of court records kept by individuals, and include private papers, such as correspondence. Furthermore, this collection is representative of specific individuals who kept records, rather than the general population of Preston County.  The collection of private records by the County may have occurred after a fire at the courthouse in 1869 destroyed most of the original records, or it may be a result of the collecting efforts of the Bucklew Museum, which appears to have been connected with the court. ","Highlights of this collection include: Original survey maps from 1790, 1792, and 1794 (A-17); a survey of the border between West Virginia and Maryland (undated, A-16); records of local industries such as a coal report (undated, A-171), Muddy Creek Iron Furnace (A-318, circa 1860), and the Kingwood Railroad; Accounts of Mail for Preston County Post Offices (1845-1849, A-269); records of first Kingwood Sunday School, including Semi-Annual report of Kingwood Sunday School, 1828 (A-274) and a list of scholars and donors (A-280); lists of voters for Evansville (1844 or 1848, A-278); Literary Digest maps of New Europe and Africa following World War I (1920, A-156 and A-168); Soil, topography, and agricultural surveys for Preston, Monongalia, Marion, and Taylor Counties (1912-1914, A-148-149, A-169); and a poster advertising a \"Judicial Sale of Very Valuable Land\" (1868, A-167).","A-24 was on loan, the microfilm copy was made and the original materials were returned.","Including: the Estate of Israel Baldwin (A-22);  Commissioners Survey (A-150); List of Land Sales 1824-1877 (A-151); original plat of Kingwood; plan of Mt.

","This collection consists of two parts: the original accession and the 1996 addendum. The original collection includes boxes 1-7 and 1 reel of microfilm.

The collection includes early papers relating to land, court cases, mills and furnaces, post offices, inns, mineral development, Morgantown and Kingwood Railroad Company, roads, the Virginia-Maryland boundary, and estate settlements.

Furthermore, this collection is representative of specific individuals who kept records, rather than the general population of Preston County.  The collection of private records by the County may have occurred after a fire at the courthouse in 1869 destroyed most of the original records, or it may be a result of the collecting efforts of the Bucklew Museum, which appears to have been connected with the court. ","Highlights of this collection include: Original survey maps from 1790, 1792, and 1794 (A-17); a survey of the border between West Virginia and Maryland (undated, A-16); records of local industries such as a coal report (undated, A-171), Muddy Creek Iron Furnace (A-318, circa 1860), and the Kingwood Railroad; Accounts of Mail for Preston County Post Offices (1845-1849, A-269); records of first Kingwood Sunday School, including Semi-Annual report of Kingwood Sunday School, 1828 (A-274) and a list of scholars and donors (A-280); lists of voters for Evansville (1844 or 1848, A-278); Literary Digest maps of New Europe and Africa following World War I (1920, A-156 and A-168); Soil, topography, and agricultural surveys for Preston, Monongalia, Marion, and Taylor Counties (1912-1914, A-148-149, A-169); and a poster advertising a \"Judicial Sale of Very Valuable Land\" (1868, A-167).","A-24 was on loan, the microfilm copy was made and the original materials were returned.","Including: the Estate of Israel Baldwin (A-22);  Commissioners Survey (A-150); List of Land Sales 1824-1877 (A-151); original plat of Kingwood; plan of Mt.

Boxes 6-7 are almost exclusively maps and surveys, and the materials are primarily from circa 1900-1915. The microfilm reel is a copy of a 1909 Map of Kingwood (item A-24); the original was returned after being filmed. Five of the seven photographs are available digitally. The 1996 addendum is box 8. This box is exclusively photocopies of the loaned materials, no original materials exist. These materials were the papers of Julius Kemble Monroe, a surveyor in Preston County.  ","Both the originals and the addendum may have at one point been the papers of Monroe, but the original accession was donated by the Preston County Court through the Leroy Bucklew Museum. The papers in this collection include court records, but seem to have been returned to the court from private citizens. As a result, the records in this collection include the kinds of court records kept by individuals, and include private papers, such as correspondence. Furthermore, this collection is representative of specific individuals who kept records, rather than the general population of Preston County.  The collection of private records by the County may have occurred after a fire at the courthouse in 1869 destroyed most of the original records, or it may be a result of the collecting efforts of the Bucklew Museum, which appears to have been connected with the court. ","Highlights of this collection include: Original survey maps from 1790, 1792, and 1794 (A-17); a survey of the border between West Virginia and Maryland (undated, A-16); records of local industries such as a coal report (undated, A-171), Muddy Creek Iron Furnace (A-318, circa 1860), and the Kingwood Railroad; Accounts of Mail for Preston County Post Offices (1845-1849, A-269); records of first Kingwood Sunday School, including Semi-Annual report of Kingwood Sunday School, 1828 (A-274) and a list of scholars and donors (A-280); lists of voters for Evansville (1844 or 1848, A-278); Literary Digest maps of New Europe and Africa following World War I (1920, A-156 and A-168); Soil, topography, and agricultural surveys for Preston, Monongalia, Marion, and Taylor Counties (1912-1914, A-148-149, A-169); and a poster advertising a \"Judicial Sale of Very Valuable Land\" (1868, A-167).","A-24 was on loan, the microfilm copy was made and the original materials were returned.","Including: the Estate of Israel Baldwin (A-22);  Commissioners Survey (A-150); List of Land Sales 1824-1877 (A-151); original plat of Kingwood; plan of Mt. Carmel; two photographs of a survey team (A-18 and A-20); and unnumbered items","Does not include A-166.","A-174 has it's own inventory available in the Control Folder","Negative copies of item A-246 are in Box 6.","Does not include A-13, 16, 24, 27, 63, 70, 111, 133, or 156. A-28 is listed as a negative in the inventory, but appears to be the original. The \"X\" items were not included on the original inventory and are: X-123, town lots in Kingwood surveyed for U.N. Orr, 1908; X-124, Plat of streets in Kingwood, undated; and X-126, the Brown and Bannister addition to Albright, undated.","This is the 1996 addendum.

","Received Elizur Wright's letter, the decision that the letter requested was a heavy responsibility; has decided he serves the cause better where he is; has fought against slavery and colonization; colonization has able advocates; Brother Mehan and Professor Morgan have renounced colonization and come over to the abolitionist position; they are on the border of a slave state but within a year there will be 100 theological students at the institution (Lane Seminary in Walnut Hills, Ohio)- a strong abolitionist center that will influence the entire valley \"more than a hundred societies in New York\"; Beecher Stowe is dead set against their cause; believes the seminary would fold if he left; leads a bible class for \"colored adults\"; nominates Lewis Tappan as General Agent for the Society. (JDW has secured Elizur Wright's position of Corresponding Secretary in December of 1833).","Received Daniel Cady's letter; hopes Cady will be able to commence proceedings in the case of the Delaware Lot (?). Hopes for a speedy settlement with the representatives of R.M. Campbell and John E. Smith; business is poor and Gerrit Smith has not had a paying customer in 8 days.","Regrets that he cannot attend the abolitionist meeting; hopes God will guide the convention; afraid that \"the Temptor\" will turn them from a \"right end\" and make them use \"wrong means\"; God may use the Civil War to bring about abolition, but he may allow wicked men to accomplish this; the faithful are obligated to not support the war if it is not a \"right measure to accomplish a right end\"; the war is not just because it seeks merely to restore the pre-war government that allowed slavery; support for a government that merely prevents the extension of slavery is not enough; even if the ends are right (i.e. total abolition), war is still wrong; God's command of \"thou shalt not kill\" applies to soldiers as well; ministers who leave the pulpit and accept commissions are hypocrites; God's weapons are sufficient to defeat slavery.","Relates establishment of the American Freedman Aid Commission; Judge Berd is president and Wendell Phillips Lawson is acting Secretary, a \"grand Anniversary\" will be marked by addresses by Phillip Brooks, Henry Ward Beecher, General Saxton and (?) Andrew; requests advice on choosing an editor.","Thanks William Lloyd Garrison for his memorial card; expresses sympathy for the loss of his wife; hopes that he is recovering from his illness because his services to the country are still needed; Southern Rebels are finding cause with power hungry Northern partisans.","Sends sympathy for his great loss of Mrs. Garrison.","Written for her father, who expresses sympathy for Mrs. Garrison's death; he knew her as a child in 1825. Bears a short personal condolence from Mary herself.","Mr. Phillips and the Wallcots have passed away and Parker Pillsbury feels that there is nothing left that is dear to him; William Lloyd Garrison is hospitable; one thousand of his books have sold and he still has one thousand left that he cannot sell; he is in relatively good health.

Both its size and value\n         had been suggested by Ingram's four-volume edition of Poe's\n         works, prefaced by an original and controversial Memoir, and\n         its worth had further been proved by the two-volume biography\n         of Poe in which Ingram had published a great deal of new and\n         important information. So impressed was the \n          New England editor and critic \n          Thomas Wentworth Higginson that he\n         addressed an anxious communication to Ingram on February l,\n         l880, about his collection: \"I hope that if you should ever\n         have occasion to sell it or should bequeath it (absit omen! in\n         either case) it may come to some Public Library in this\n         country.\"","Ingram's Poe collection was to grow enormously through many\n         more years, and in the end Higginson's wish was to be\n         fulfilled: it was sold and it did come to \n          America, to the \n          Alderman Library at the University of\n         Virginia.","This is the curious story of how it happened.","Interest in the life and work of \n          Edgar Poe was part of Ingram's childhood;\n         in his adulthood it became his obsession. By his statement, he\n         spent sixty-two years writing about Poe and collecting Poe\n         materials. We can be sure he spent as many as fifty-three, for\n         he published a poem called \"Hope: An Allegory,\" written in\n         imitation of Poe's \"Ulalume,\" in 1863, and in the month before\n         he died he published a tart note, setting the record straight\n         about Dr. Bransby's school at \n          Stoke Newington. He filled the\n         intervening years with almost ceaseless attention to Poe: he\n         wrote two biographies, several Memoirs, more than fifty\n         magazine articles, as well as Prefaces and Introductions to\n         writings on Poe by others, and he published and republished\n         Poe's tales, poems, and essays in eight separate editions.\n         During these years he carried on bitter warfare in print with\n         almost every person who wrote about Poe anywhere, especially\n         if the writer was an American, for \n          John Ingram secretly regarded himself as\n         the sole redeemer of Poe's besmirched personal reputation and\n         as the person most responsible for Poe's renewed, world-wide\n         literary reputation.","II","\n          John Henry Ingram was born on November 16,\n         1842, at 29 City Road, \n          Finnsbury, Middlesex, and spent his\n         childhood in \n          Stoke Newington, the \n          London suburb where young Poe had himself\n         lived. The \n          Stoke Newington Manor House School, which\n         Poe describes in \"William Wilson,\" was standing in Ingram's\n         youth, and he was quite conscious of it as a tangible link\n         between his own life and Poe's. On March 6, l874, Ingram wrote\n         an autobiographical account to \n          Sarah Helen Whitman, clearly\n         acknowledging Poe's influence on his early life:","\"As a child, before I could read, I determined as I\n               looked at my father's great books and saw how they\n               interested him, to become an author and by the time I\n               could spell words of one syllable I began to write, but\n               in prose. One night when I was still a boy I went into\n               my own room, and for the five-hundreth time, began to\n               read out of Routledge's little volume of \n                Edgar Poe's poems. Suddenly,\n               something stirred me till I shuddered with intense\n               excitement. \"I felt as if a star had burst within my\n               brain.\" I fell on my knees and prayed as I only could\n               pray then, and thanked my Creator for having made me a\n               poet!\"","But \n          John Ingram was not destined to become a\n         poet, and he soon realized it. After publishing and\n         suppressing his first volume of poetry in 1863, he wrote a\n         pathetic \"Farewell to Poesy\" in 1864, bidding adieu to what\n         was then the dearest hope of his life.","Private tutors and private schools furnished \n          John Ingram's formal education during his\n         childhood, until he entered \n          Lyonsdown. Later, after he had registered\n         at the \n          City of London College, his father died,\n         and Ingram was forced to withdraw and take up the job of\n         supporting himself, his mother, and his two sisters. On\n         January l3, l868, he received a Civil Service Commission, with\n         an appointment to the \n          Savings Bank Department of the London General Post\n         Office.","Ingram then molded his life into a pattern which he\n         followed doggedly for the rest of his days. He spent his days\n         working at his clerkship and he spent his evenings studying,\n         writing, and lecturing, complaining irascibly when social\n         invitations or professional functions forced him to break this\n         routine.","On Saturday afternoons his friends could always find \n          John Ingram in the \n          Reading Room of the British Museum\n         Library. He had learned to speak and write French,\n         German, Spanish, and Italian (later in life he added a working\n         knowledge of Portuguese and Hungarian). He contributed\n         literary articles to leading reviews in \n          England, \n          France, and \n          America, and he lectured frequently, for\n         pay, on contemporary literature. He broke his persevering,\n         even stubborn, devotion to work and study only occasionally by\n         business trips through \n          Ireland and \n          Scotland or to the Continent, or by trips\n         to the \n          Isle of Wight and other watering places in\n         search of relief from recurring attacks of rheumatic fever,\n         which plagued him all of his life. He was determined to be an\n         author of important books and in 1868, in spite of his\n         difficulties, he made a beginning.","Ingram called his first book Flora Symbolica; or, the\n         Language and Sentiment of Flowers. The book was a history of\n         the floriography, with an examination of the meaning and\n         symbolism, of more than one hundred different flowers,\n         garlands, and bouquets. He wrote long essays on each flower\n         and included with each one colored illustrations, legends,\n         anecdotes, and poetical allusions. His volume was beautifully\n         bound and printed, infinitely detailed, and it revealed\n         clearly his method as an author: he had thoroughly sifted,\n         condensed, and used, with augmentations, the writings of his\n         predecessors (a method of editing and writing he was to use\n         always, while condemning it in others) in this science of\n         sweet things.\" In his Preface, he told his readers with\n         characteristic bluntness: \"Although I dare not boast that I\n         have exhausted the subject, I may certainly affirm that\n         followers will find little left to glean in the paths I have\n         traversed.\" \"It will be found to be the most complete work on\n         the subject ever published,\" he wrote. He was probably right,\n         too. The important thing is that here, very early, he had\n         epitomized his guiding philosophy as a writer and an editor.\n         His job, as he saw it, was to learn all that had been done on\n         whatever subject he was engaged and to strive passionately to\n         produce a work of his own that would be significant for its\n         completeness.","This book on floriography was the product of a rapidly\n         maturing scholar, not that of a youth of nineteen, as his\n         later juggling of his birth date would have it appear. He was\n         actually twenty-six years old when he first demonstrated his\n         abilities as a compiler, editor, and author. Everything about\n         this volume shows that Ingram's methods in bookmaking were\n         rather firmly decided upon before he commenced his important\n         work on Poe, and he altered those methods scarcely at all, no\n         matter what his subject, in the next forty-eight years.","Having served his literary apprenticeship, \n          John Ingram was ready, by 1870, to begin\n         writing books that would, he hoped, be financially profitable\n         and at the same time bring to him lasting literary fame. He\n         had already, for a long while, studied Poe's writings, reading\n         and collecting everything he saw about the poet, and he became\n         possessed by a deep, almost instinctive belief that Poe had\n         been cruelly wronged by the Memoir that \n          Rufus W. Griswold had written and\n         published in l850. And so, \n          John Ingram found his work: he determined\n         to destroy Griswold's Memoir of Poe by proving its author a\n         liar and a forger, and, in time, to write a new biography that\n         would present to the world \n          Edgar Poe as he really was. In order to do\n         these things it would be necessary, of course, for him to\n         examine everything, both favorable and unfavorable, that had\n         been written about Poe, to search for new material, and to\n         learn so much about Poe that he could reconstruct, as it were,\n         the true character of the man and writer, as he felt it to\n         be.","At this point, Ingram's life appeared to have a certain\n         stability. He had a respectable and obviously not too\n         demanding job that assured financial independence, and he was\n         the author of a book popular enough to call for three\n         editions, which brought to him a certain amount of literary\n         recognition. But there was another side to his nature, a\n         darker side that tormented and divided his life. As he began\n         assembling materials for a defense of \n          Edgar Poe he worked spasmodically, beset\n         by worry, self-doubt, trouble, and fear. His temper was quick\n         to explode and his sensitive nature found injury and fault\n         where little or none of either was intended or existed. Some\n         explanation of this duality in his nature is found in a shamed\n         confession he made to Mrs. Whitman about the hereditary curse\n         that hung over his household: two aunts, his father, and a\n         sister, one after the other, had succumbed to insanity and had\n         either died or had to be removed from home. His own mind was\n         as clear and acute as possible, he insisted, and the family\n         curse appeared unlikely to fall upon him if his worldly\n         affairs jogged along composedly, but the knowledge of the\n         taint in his blood was a terrible thing to him. Perhaps there\n         is enough here to explain why Ingram's disposition early\n         became choleric, why he never married, and why he suffered all\n         of his life from recurring sicknesses, real or imaginary.","By 1870 there was a growing international interest in Poe's\n         genius. A new generation had grown up to be fascinated by his\n         tales and poems, and the older generations had in a measure\n         forgotten the unpleasant stories connected with Poe's life. A\n         minority group of Poe's friends in \n          America knew that Griswold's Memoir had\n         been motivated by jealousy and hatred, but no one of them had\n         the information, the literary ability, and the strength\n         necessary to publish an effectively documented denial of\n         Grisold's Memoir and to replace it with an honest biography.\n         These friends of Poe's were widely separated, largely unknown\n         to each other; all had been seriously affected by a decade of\n         war and its aftermath, and all of them were growing old. If\n         Poe's memory was to be vindicated, it was fairly certain that\n         it would have to be done by someone younger, someone who would\n         not personally have known Poe. Not a single one of Poe's close\n         friends who still lived in the l870's had any idea or plan for\n         doing the job himself, but a number of them were eager to help\n         someone else do it.","Such, in brief, was the situation when \n          John Henry Ingram of \n          Stoke Newington determined to prove to the\n         world his theory that \n          Rufus Griswold had been a liar and that \n          Edgar Poe had been shamefully\n         maligned.","The first articles Ingram published in l873 and early l874\n         had little new information in them which would vindicate Poe's\n         reputation; Ingram was of necessity feeling his way, and he\n         used these magazine publications to announce clearly his\n         purpose, before diving into the melee. He intended to refute,\n         step by step, the aspersions cast on Poe's character by\n         Griswold and to publish an edition of Poe's works which would\n         not only be more complete than any hitherto published, but\n         which, through a Memoir as its Preface, would clear Poe's name\n         and present him to the world as the great artist and fine\n         gentleman he really was.","After his first flight into the thin air of creative and\n         imaginative writing, Ingram's muse brought him closer to earth\n         and he really found himself at home in the murky atmosphere of\n         the \n          British Museum. Ingram was a natural\n         researcher. Armed with righteous indignation and the tools of\n         scholarship, he became a crusader enlisted in a holy cause;\n         the peculiar combination within him of a sensitive, poetic\n         soul and a zealot's concentrated energy uniquely fitted him\n         for the challenging job of righting the wrongs he believed had\n         been done to Poe.","Having exhausted his resources at hand, Ingram turned to \n          America in the hope of finding there\n         friends of Poe who still resented the injustice done to him\n         enough to help clear his name. The adroit timing and the\n         felicity of this plan quickly became apparent. It was not\n         difficult for Ingram to communicate his sincere feeling that\n         his work was a crusade against evil, and Poe's friends were\n         delighted with the boyish fervor of this young and already\n         distinguished English scholar who was so unselfishly\n         championing the poet's blighted reputation. Poe had been dead\n         for nearly twenty-five years and many of his friends were\n         hastening to their own graves, but they responded immediately\n         to Ingram's letters and joined in a tireless search for\n         recollections of Poe's literary and personal activities,\n         sending letters Poe had written to them, manuscripts, books,\n         and even personal keepsakes Poe had given to them. \n          Sarah Helen Whitman, excited over the\n         prospect of Ingram's writing an authoritative biography of\n         Poe, wrote out for him everything she could remember of her\n         personal meetings with Poe, sent him manuscripts, hundreds of\n         newsclippings, magazine articles, copied letters and excerpts\n         from articles, and gave unreservedly from her remarkable store\n         of information about what others had written and said about\n         Poe. \n          Annie Richmond entrusted to Ingram the\n         only copies she had ever made of her precious letters from\n         Poe, and sent him copies of Poe's books that had been found in\n         Poe's trunk after he died. \n          Marie Louise Shew Houghton sent letters\n         and copies of letters from Poe, a miniature of Poe's mother,\n         and at least three manuscript poems Poe had given her. \n          Stella Lewis gave him Poe's manuscript of\n         \"Politian,\" and willed to him the daguerreotype which Poe had\n         given to her in l848. \n          Edward V. Valentine of \n          Richmond, \n          William Hand Browne of \n          Johns Hopkins University, \n          John Neal, Poe's sister Rosalie, the \n          Poe family in \n          Baltimore, including \n          Neilson Poe and his daughter Amelia, and\n         many, many others contributed to Ingram's surprisingly large\n         store of information about Poe. And when \n          William Fearing Gill and \n          Eugene L. Didier came to many of these\n         same persons asking for help on their biographies of Poe,\n         these correspondents showed a surprising disposition to\n         withhold everything for Ingram and to betray to him the\n         activities of his American rivals. Later when violent personal\n         and literary quarrels broke out between Ingram and these\n         American biographers of Poe, Ingram's epistolary friends\n         encouraged him in private correspondence and defended him\n         vigorously in the public press. Poe's friends had become\n         Ingram's partisans. A steadily rising stream of books,\n         letters, manuscripts, pictures, and newsclippings passed from \n          America to \n          England, with a few of them, but very\n         few, finding their way back again. The aggregate of Ingram's\n         correspondence on Poe matters is staggering when one realizes\n         that he carried it on single-handedly, and published during\n         these years sixteen books on other subjects while holding an\n         everyday job at the General Post Office.","From the two bound volumes of the  Broadway Journal  that\n         Mrs. Whitman sent, Ingram was able to make a number of\n         important additions to the cannon of Poe's writings when he\n         published his edition of Poe's works. Poe had given these\n         volumes, covering his editorship of the Journal, to Mrs.\n         Whitman in l848, and had gone through them and initialed with\n         \"P\" almost everything he had written. Mrs. Whitman had first\n         offered to lend these volumes to Ingram, but then, feeling the\n         time of her death drawing near, she decided to give them to\n         him. Accordingly, on April 2, 1874, she mailed them with the\n         injunction that they be returned to her \"at the opening of the\n         seventh seal.\"","In the Preface of his l880 two-volume biography of Poe, \n          John Ingram bade farewell \"to what has\n         engrossed so much of my life and labour.\" He was convinced\n         that he had garnered almost all of the genuine Poe documents\n         there were and that his accurate and complete biography had\n         dealt conclusively with everything of importance concerning\n         Poe. His work was finished, he sincerely thought.","But Ingram was not through with Poe. He should have\n         understood himself and the reputation he had acquired as a Poe\n         scholar well enough to know that he could not be through. The\n         popularity of his edition had created a large market for Poe's\n         writings and his biography had stirred up so much controversy,\n         particularly in \n          America, that he had rather to increase\n         sharply his activities, for he was quickly challenged about\n         statements in his published works. Quick to resent\n         encroachment on what he considered his private preserves, he\n         rapidly found himself at odds with a number of persons who had\n         begun writing on Poe, for he could detect in their\n         publications borrowings from his own, borrowings made more\n         often than not without acknowledgment.","Ingram could not copyright facts, and he grew steadily more\n         embittered as he saw the fruits of his research become public\n         property. A new era of investigation into Poe's writings and\n         life was beginning in \n          America, an era brought about principally\n         by Ingram's controversial personality and by the tone of his\n         published writings about Poe. Competent scholars were entering\n         the field to contest Ingram's claims of being the leading Poe\n         authority, and these new American writers were rapidly making\n         the early efforts of W. F. Gill and Eugene Didier appear\n         puerile indeed. \n          George W. Woodberry, \n          Edmund C. Stedman, and \n          R. H. Stoddard were formidable new\n         biographers and suitors of Poe, and Ingram had not as yet, in\n         the 1880's, taken their measure. Far from being finished with\n         his work, he was really only beginning. During the next\n         thirty-five years he struck back angrily through the columns\n         of important newspapers and journals --to which his reputation\n         as a Poe scholar gave him easy access --at other writers who,\n         as he saw it, had stolen his Poe materials or who had altered\n         the Poe image he had tried so hard to create. When reviewing\n         new editions and biographies of Poe, Ingram tried to demolish\n         them with a wit as rapier-like as was Poe's; unfortunately for\n         him, his witty thrusts resembled broad-ax blows. Where Poe had\n         been original and cruel, Ingram was simply sarcastic and\n         repetitious. But through their reviews Ingram and Poe did\n         achieve the same result: they both made enduring, deadly,\n         vociferous enemies.","In 1884 Ingram edited a de luxe four-volume edition of\n         Tales and Poems of \n          Edgar Allan Poe for English publication,\n         and for the \n          Tauchnitz Press in \n          Leipzig he edited separate volumes of\n         Poe's Tales and Poems; in 1885 he published a volume on Poe's\n         \"The Raven\"; in 1886 he prepared a one-volume reprint of the\n         two-volume biography of Poe he had issued in 1880; and in 1888\n         he brought out the first variorum edition of Poe's poems. With\n         these publications Ingram was represented on the literary\n         market by one edition or another which covered every phase of\n         Poe's activities. Thus, finally, was completed the body of his\n         important work on Poe.","In still another sense \n          John Ingram's work on Poe was finished.\n         His whole method of investigation had been based on personal\n         correspondence with Poe's friends, and year by year the circle\n         had grown smaller until, in 1888, only \n          Annie Richmond was left. His early, happy\n         inspiration of searching out Poe's friends had yielded rich\n         results. Now those persons were silent, but their memories,\n         their letters, and their precious papers had been given into\n         Ingram's keeping; and he had used most of these things in\n         publishing in every area of Poe scholarship, until, at the\n         close of 1888, there was literally nothing left for him to do.\n         But his collection remained and was the envy of Poe scholars\n         everywhere.","\n          John Ingram was retired with a pension\n         from the Civil Service in 1903, after thirty-five years in the\n         General Post Office. He continued living in \n          London with his only remaining sister,\n         Laura, writing articles, caustically reviewing new books about\n         Poe and new editions of Poe's works, and in 1909 Ingram led\n         the English celebration of Poe's centenary, bringing out still\n         another edition of Poe's poems and furnishing to the London\n         Bookman practically all of the materials used in its \n          Edgar Allan Poe Centenary Number. In these\n         years of retirement Ingram began putting into final form his\n         definitive biography of Poe. He felt he could use everything\n         in his files, now that all of the people who had sent\n         materials to him were dead, to achieve the distinction he\n         wanted more than anything else --to be remembered by the world\n         as the one authentic and complete biographer of Edgar Poe. In\n         1912 Ingram moved his household from \n          London to \n          Brighton. There for a few years he\n         enjoyed the sea-bathing he loved so well, and there he died on\n         February 12, 1916. His passing went unnoticed. His last\n         sickness had evidently not been considered terminal and his\n         death must have come unexpectedly, for he left no clear-cut\n         arrangements for disposing of his affairs or for the huge\n         collection of Poe materials, the pride of his life. It is\n         strange that he had not long before made definite provision\n         for his Poe collection, for it constituted his greatest claim\n         to personal and literary fame, and \n          John Ingram was a man mindful of history's\n         judgment. Through the years, it is true, he had sold almost\n         all of his original Poe letters and some of the more important\n         items given him by Poe's friends, but he had kept accurate\n         copies of everything he had sold. Ingram had justified his\n         actions by insisting he had sacrificed his own fortune and\n         health in trying to clear Poe's name and if his work was to\n         continue the sales were necessary to provide money for it.\n         Even though these original letters and manuscripts were no\n         longer part of his collection, the things that remained were\n         very important, and \n          John Ingram knew it. Nothing else he had\n         published had brought his name before the world as had his\n         publications on Poe and the reputation he had gained as a\n         collector of Poe materials.","III","Shortly after John Ingram's death, Miss \n          Laura Ingram caused something of a stir in\n         the scholarly worlds of \n          England and \n          America by advertising for sale her\n         brother's entire library. Although \n          John Ingram had become an anachronism, his\n         out-dated biographical methods having long been superseded by\n         the careful, painstaking, scholarly practices of Professors \n          James A. Harrison and \n          Killis Campbell, the number of important\n         \"first\" Poe publications Ingram had scored was still green in\n         the memories of all concerned. Poe scholars knew that in his\n         declining years Ingram had lost his knack of ferreting out new\n         and important facts about Poe, but they also knew that shortly\n         before his death Ingram had completed a new biography of Poe.\n         While they did not expect that manuscript to be among the\n         papers offered for sale, there was every reason to believe the\n         materials from which he had written it would be. More\n         important than this, scholars everywhere wanted to see those\n         original manuscripts and letters by means of which Ingram had\n         forty years before made so many important contributions to Poe\n         biography.","Word of the proposed sale reached the \n          University of Virginia early in the summer\n         of 1916. Librarian \n          John S. Patton promptly sent an inquiry to\n         Ingram's heirs, through the American Consul in \n          London, asking what books and papers\n         about Poe were to be sold. Miss \n          Laura Ingram as promptly answered his\n         inquiry and enclosed a partial list of the Poe books, letters,\n         and papers she wished to sell, asking l50 pounds sterling for\n         the lot. Patton felt this too inclusive a basis on which to\n         buy, so he countered with a proposition that Miss Ingram send\n         the entire collection to \n          Virginia for examination and evaluation;\n         for an option to buy any or all of the collection the\n         University would pay shipping expenses and insurance from \n          England to \n          America, and back again, if need be.\n         Patton's interest was principally in the letters and portraits\n         in the collection; the University, he wrote, not altogether\n         accurately, already had most of the books on Poe that Miss\n         Ingram had listed.","Miss Ingram agreed to Patton's proposal but delayed the\n         shipment because there was a great risk of losing the\n         collection. \n          England was at war with \n          Germany and enemy submarines had begun\n         taking a heavy toll of English merchant shipping. After a few\n         months, when the immediacies of war occupied both Miss Ingram\n         and the University officials, correspondence about the Poe\n         papers was dropped.","In 1919, \n          James Southall Wilson, a young Professor\n         of English from \n          William and Mary came to join the \n          University of Virginia faculty. A seminar\n         course on Poe's works was being organized for the first time\n         at the University and Dr. Wilson was scheduled to teach it.\n         Although he was not at the time either a Poe specialist or a\n         specialist in American literature Dr. Wilson had, however,\n         long been keenly interested in Poe's writings. Shortly after\n         his arrival, \n          John Patton mentioned to him in casual\n         conversation that he had a partial list of \n          John Ingram's Poe Collection which had\n         been for sale some years before. When Dr. Wilson saw the list\n         his imagination quickly became fired with the possibilities of\n         what the whole collection might be; so he maneuvered hastily,\n         to enlist President \n          Edwin A. Alderman's support, gathered\n         accumulated Library funds, and reopened the correspondence\n         with Miss Ingram about her brother's papers.","Miss Ingram's health had been seriously affected by her\n         brother's death and by the privations of the war; once the\n         fighting was over she had begun making hurried efforts to\n         dispose of the Poe papers to any acceptable university or\n         library authorities. She had wanted them to go to the \n          University of Virginia for safekeeping,\n         since her brother had paid marked attention to Poe's alma\n         mater, but a number of years had passed without further word\n         from \n          Charlottesville. Fearfully believing her\n         own death to be at hand, she had seized an opportunity to sell\n         the papers to the \n          University of Texas.","Professor \n          Killis Campbell, an editor of Poe's poems\n         and himself a Virginian, wrote Miss Ingram, as Chairman of the\n          Department of English at the University of\n         Texas, that he would consider buying her Poe papers\n         only after the \n          University of Virginia had definitely\n         refused their purchase.","Still another possible solution to Miss Ingram's problem\n         then presented itself: a Harvard Professor, vacationing in\n         England, came to \n          Brighton to examine the Poe collection,\n         with the idea of buying it for his university.","At this point Miss Ingram received Dr. Wilson's renewed\n         request to ship the papers on approval to \n          Virginia. She did not want this\n         indefiniteness. Getting the papers packed and shipped,\n         furthermore, would be a difficult and confusing job, for the\n         Poe collection had somehow become mixed with the remnants of \n          John Ingram's once enviable collections\n         of materials about \n          Christopher Marlowe, Chatterton, \n          Oliver Madox-Brown, and \n          Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Sudden\n         interest in the Poe papers on the part of an English purchaser\n         offered her a way out. She stopped short and awaited an offer\n         from any one of the prospective buyers who would relieve her\n         of the trouble of packing and shipping the papers. A quick\n         acceptance of her terms by the English agent, the Harvard\n         professor, or by the \n          University of Texas would have changed the\n         fate of the Poe papers.","The \n          University of Virginia's correspondence\n         about the papers had not involved an agent, since it was begun\n         and ended by personal letters between \n          John Patton, Dr. Wilson, and Miss Ingram.\n         Yet, some knowledge of the prospective return of \n          John Ingram's Poe papers to \n          America reached numerous scholars,\n         authors, teachers, and booksellers, for they began sending\n         requests to the \n          University of Virginia for permission to\n         examine and use or to purchase portions of the collection. The\n         first word the University itself had that they were to receive\n         the Poe Collection came from \n          J. H. Whitty, \n          Richmond book collector and editor of\n         Poe's poems, who wrote \n          John Patton on September 23, 1921, saying\n         the papers were even then enroute from \n          England to the University. This\n         information, Whitty wrote in sly confidence, he had picked up\n         through the bookseller's \"grapevine.\"","In mid-October, 192l, the collection arrived in the \n          United States aboard the SS Northwestern\n         Miller, which docked at \n          Philadelphia. The shipment, consigned by \n          John Patton as \"settler's effects,\" was\n         passed through Customs free of duty. But Patton, who had not\n         been in \n          England for a decade, resolutely refused\n         to sign an affidavit declaring the boxes contained his\n         household goods; consequently, two weeks passed before\n         official confusion was cleared up and the shipment\n         released.","The two great packing cases actually reached the University\n         in the first week of November and were isolated in a small\n         room in the basement of the Rotunda to await examination by\n         Dr. Wilson in whatever time he could spare from his teaching\n         duties.","Dr. Wilson found his job long and tiring, but always\n         interesting, and at times very exciting. \n          John Ingram's Poe collection was bulky,\n         varied and rich.","IV","Perhaps the prize single article in the Poe Collection was\n         the original \"Stella\" daguerreotype of Poe --the one Poe had\n         given to Mrs. Lewis in l848, which she in turn willed to \n          John Ingram in l880. And among the\n         hundreds of letters from Ingram's correspondents, perhaps none\n         were more interesting to Dr. Wilson, nor to Poe students\n         later, than those from \n          Sarah Helen Whitman. This strange and\n         charming woman had cherished for twenty-five years the image\n         of herself as his one great love, after her brief engagement\n         of three months to Poe in l848, and she had written to \n          John Ingram the fullest account there is\n         of their personal relationships. Her ninety-eight letters to\n         Ingram narrowly escaped being destroyed by \n          Laura Ingram, who felt, for reasons best\n         known to herself, Mrs. Whitman's letters were unfit to be in\n         her brother's collection. Fortunately, Miss Ingram decided to\n         include the letters in the shipment and let the Virginia\n         authorities decide whether or not they should be\n         destroyed.","Ingram's letters to \n          Annie Richmond had also evoked full and\n         generous replies. She placed her whole trust in Ingram and\n         wanted him to understand, as she felt sure no mortal except\n         herself had understood, the purity and nobility of Poe's mind\n         and spirit. The copies she made of Poe's letters to herself\n         for \n          John Ingram, found in this collection,\n         are the only ones in existence; the originals have\n         disappeared.","Dr. Wilson also found in this collection many letters from \n          Marie Louise Shew Houghton, who had\n         nursed \n          Virginia Poe during her last sickness at \n          Fordham and had watched over Poe as he\n         suffered a long and violent attack after Virginia's death.\n         Mrs. Houghton had sent to Ingram either the originals or\n         copies of all the manuscripts and letters she had received\n         from Poe, in addition to a sometimes confusing but invaluable\n         account of Poe's family life.","Letters from these three ladies made up the largest group\n         that Ingram had received, but Dr. Wilson found many additional\n         letters and items of importance. There was the original\n         drawing of Poe that \n          Edouard Manet had made and presented to \n          Stephane Mallarme, who had in turn given\n         it to \n          John Ingram ; a pen drawing of \n          Marie Louise Shew, made by an unknown\n         hand; letters from \n          Rosalie Poe, begging, shortly before she\n         died, for Ingram's financial help; a penciled letter from Poe\n         himself to \n          Stella Lewis written on the back of her\n         manuscript poem \"The Prisoner of Perote\"; letters and\n         documents from \n          Edward V. Valentine, the Richmond\n         sculptor who first persuaded \n          Elmira Royster Shelton to relate for\n         Ingram her early and late memories of Poe; letters from Sir \n          Arthur Conan Doyle, \n          John Neal, \n          Elizabeth Oakes Smith, and many other\n         letters Dr. Wilson knew to be without parallel in any\n         collection of Poe papers.","Miss Ingram had not included in the shipment \"a good many\"\n         letters from Miss \n          Amelia FitzGerald Poe, since they \"threw\n         too little fresh light on her nephew's life to be of an\n         interest,\" nor had she included old copies of the Southern\n         Literary Messenger and Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, feeling\n         certain the University would already have them. \n          Amelia Poe was the daughter of \n          Neilson Poe, who had buried Edgar in \n          Baltimore in l849, and the custodian of\n         many letters from Poe, Mrs. Clemm, Mrs. Whitman, and \n          Annie Richmond ; she had corresponded with\n         Ingram over a period of twenty years and was important enough\n         to him to receive the dedication of his last biography of Poe.\n         These letters and magazines were requested from Miss Ingram\n         and in time they were received and restored to the\n         collection.","After a thorough examination of the collection, Dr. Wilson\n         decided it was worth the price asked. In l916 the price had\n         been 150 pounds; in 1922 it was 200 pounds. For the entire\n         collection, \n          John Patton offered 181 pounds, 14\n         shillings ($800), on March 24, 1922.","Miss Ingram gladly accepted the money and she wrote to the\n         officials of the University how pleased she was that what she\n         believed to be her dead brother's wish had been carried out:\n         his Poe collection was at home in \n          America, and in \n          Virginia, where she was sure he would\n         have wanted it to be. And she continued her interest in the\n         University, quite often sending cordial letters accompanied by\n         packages of books, pictures, and letters which she had come\n         across and thought belonged with her brother's Poe collection.\n         In 1933, when once again Miss Ingram thought her death was\n         near, she sent to the University, as a gift, John Ingram's\n         manuscript, \"The True Story of \n          Edgar Allan Poe. \" This manuscript had\n         been in a publisher's hands when Ingram died, but printing was\n         delayed until the war should be over. Before that time came,\n         however, the publisher had himself died, and \n          Laura Ingram had tried without success to\n         place it with other publishers. Its presence in the house made\n         her uncomfortable. Would the University accept it and deal\n         with it as they saw fit?","The whole tone of this manuscript convinces the reader that\n          John Ingram considered this last\n         biography, his farewell to Poe scholarship, to be a volume\n         that would triumphantly answer his critics, and would be the\n         foundation-stone upon which he would be able to stand forever\n         as the uncontestable arbiter of all things concerning Poe. In\n         this work he resurveyed his whole knowledge and experience and\n         fearlessly handed down his dicta on all controversial Poe\n         questions. But unfortunately his spleen overrode his scholarly\n         judgment. His virulence against other Poe biographers,\n         especially the Americans whom he accused of fraudulently using\n         his materials, succeeded in clouding Ingram's own vision and\n         writing, and succeeds in destroying for his present day reader\n         the confidence necessary in an author's balanced judgment, if\n         he is to accept, even partially, the arbitrary rulings. This\n         manuscript is not, as Ingram thought it would be, the last\n         word on Poe. It is unrelentingly bitter against Poe's\n         detractors and Ingram's personal rivals, and it seeks, even\n         more than did Ingram's other writings on Poe, to whitewash its\n         subject completely. Ingram's perspective seems to have\n         deserted him as he wrote this manuscript, and he had little\n         left except futile anger.","V","The addition of the manuscript life of Poe rounded out the\n         collection of Poe papers that once had belonged to \n          John Ingram, now in the possession of the\n          University of Virginia.","One can safely say that had it not been for \n          John Ingram's skill and energy, together\n         with the peculiarities of his temperament, we should not now\n         have many of these unusual and dependable accounts of Poe's\n         activities and personality. By studying Ingram's papers it is\n         possible to trace him through a maze of editing and publishing\n         and to watch him, step by step, slowly amass his great fund of\n         information about Poe. One can see him make mistakes and\n         achieve triumphs as he accepts, rejects, and fuses information\n         to be included in his numerous publications on Poe. Then, too,\n         it is still possible to catch fresh glimpses of Poe himself in\n         this collection, for Ingram did not publish all of the\n         memories of Poe set down in the letters he received. Some of\n         these recollections Ingram deliberately shielded from public\n         view, but they are no more apocryphal than many of the\n         recollections he chose to believe and to publish; some of the\n         records Ingram received he suppressed from delicacy alone.","A number of scholarly papers, theses, and doctoral\n         dissertations have been based on this collection of Poe\n         papers, making almost all the more important items and\n         clusters of items more readily available to other scholars.\n         The complete collection has made possible another kind of\n         study, by an examination of Ingram's biographies and editions\n         of Poe, in conjunction with the rough materials from which he\n         shaped them, it has been possible to make a just evaluation of\n         Ingram's place among Poe biographers and editors and to\n         demonstrate exactly what and how many important contributions\n         he made to the peculiarly difficult field of Poe scholarship.\n         Finally, and by no means least important, is the fact that,\n         since Ingram's work on Poe covered nearly his whole life span,\n         it has been possible for the first time to trace in the great\n         mass of his papers a thread of the biography of this\n         nineteenth-century professional editor and biographer to whom\n         the writer of every signifcant work about Poe since 1874 has\n         been directly and heavily indebted.","A calendar and index of letters and other manuscripts,\n         photographs, printed matter, and biographical source materials\n         concerning \n          Edgar Allan Poe assembled by \n          John Henry Ingram, with prefatory essay\n         by \n          John Carl Miller on Ingram as a Poe editor\n         and biographer and as a collector of Poe materials.","Second Edition by John E. Reilly","To the Memory of John Carl Miller","Introduction:","In 1922 the \n          University of Virginia paid the heirs of \n          John Henry Ingram the munificent sum of\n         $800 for the materials Ingram had assembled for his work as\n         biographer, editor, and stalwart (i.e., feisty) champion of \n          Edgar Allan Poe. What the University\n         acquired is an unparalleled collection of letters and other\n         manuscripts, of photographs and daguerreotypes, and of\n         newspaper clippings and various other printed materials\n         totaling altogether more than a thousand items. Although the\n         University made the Collection available to serious students\n         of Poe, the contents remained uncatalogued at the \n          Alderman Library until, in the late\n         1940's, \n          John Carl Miller, then a graduate\n         student, undertook the chore of sorting and classifying the\n         mass of material. As it happened, the chore proved to be even\n         more than a labor of love: it marked for Miller the beginning\n         of a life-long interest both in Ingram and in the materials\n         Ingram had compiled. The first fruit of Miller's interest was\n         his 1954 doctoral dissertation,  Poe's English Biographer,\n          John Henry Ingram : A Biographical Account\n         and a Study of His Contributions to Poe Scholarship.  Six\n         years later the University published the first edition of\n         Professor Miller's  John Henry Ingram's Poe Collection at the University\n            of Virginia.  This little book was a \"calendar\" or chronological\n         checklist of the Collection providing a brief description of\n         the content of each item. Professor Miller prefaced the\n         calendar with his essay on Ingram as \"Editor, Biographer, and\n         Collector of Poe Materials\" and furnished access to the\n         calendar through an index. In the mid-1960's Professor Miller\n         served as an advisor to the University's project of making the\n         entire Collection available on nine reels of microfilm. At the\n         same time, however, Professor Miller was laying his own plans\n         to make \"the more important primary source materials\" used by\n         Ingram even more available in a multi-volume annotated\n         edition. The first of these volumes,  Building Poe Biography,  was published by Louisiana State University Press\n         in 1977, and the second volume,  Poe's Helen Remembers,  appeared two years later from the \n          University Press of Virginia. In\n         declining health for a number of years, Professor Miller died\n         in October 1979, before any other volumes could be\n         prepared.","At the time of his death, Professor Miller was at work not\n         only on his annotated edition of materials in the Collection\n         but also on the second edition of the calendar published by\n         the \n          University of Virginia almost two decades\n         earlier. It is his work on the second edition of the calendar\n         that the present volume carries to its conclusion.","The format of the entries in the calendar is similarly\n         unchanged: two paragraphs are devoted to each item, the first\n         a bibliographical (if that word can be extended to included\n         manuscripts) description of the item and the second paragraph\n         a brief account of its content.","Count Poe, a Polish nobleman, has induced Scottish\n                  emigrants to settle a colony on his estates.","Baltimoreans understood that Poe wrote this in \n                   Mary A.

Nearly twenty-six years later, she\n                  again found the volume in the library stacks. Poe had\n                  then agreed with her that the poem would be better\n                  without its last stanza and had so prepared it for\n                  republication in the Providence Journal.

She\n                  diagnosed Poe's sickness as lesion of the brain which\n                  produced insanity when stimulated; Dr. \n                   Valentine Mott confirmed this.\n                  Poe dictated to her incidents of his past, including\n                  a part of a poem to her called \"The Beloved\n                  Physician,\" which he later finished and she bought\n                  for $25. She offered to pay \n                   Rufus Griswold to change his\n                  Memoir of Poe, leaving her watch and diamond bracelet\n                  with him as security; he later said that the book\n                  would sell best as it was and that Longfellow and \n                   Maria Clemm approved of it or\n                  were reconciled to it. Later, Mrs. Clemm sold the\n                  bracelet, returned to her by Griswold, for $300\n                  (though this is difficult to believe because it was\n                  worth $500), and tried to find Mrs. Houghton in order\n                  to return the watch. Poe \"often\" said that he had\n                  never prospered by \"honest\" writing because \"when he\n                  wrote a really honest criticism of any author or\n                  work, he made himself enemies either from the\n                  publishers or the authors.\" He once predicted that\n                  Longfellow would coldly stab his reputation after his\n                  death. Poe showed anger when Mrs. Clemm called on\n                  Griswold and accepted favors from him.

After Virginia's\n                  death, she persuaded a gentleman to start a\n                  collection for Poe and Mrs. Clemm; General \n                   Winfield Scott contributed $5.\n                  She has found a copy of Poe's Tales published by \n                   Wiley and Putnam in 1845 and will\n                  send it and a copy of The Raven and Other Poems if\n                  Ingram wishes her to do so. She tells the stories of\n                  Poe's writing \"The Bells\" at her house, of \n                   Virginia Poe giving to her a\n                  portrait of Poe (since stolen) and a little jewel\n                  case that belonged to his mother, and of the\n                  miniature of Poe's mother which he possessed being\n                  saved at the hospital when he died. Poe never asked\n                  Griswold for money, but Mrs. Clemm did. Mrs. Houghton\n                  told Poe that he must find a woman strong enough and\n                  fond enough of him to manage his affairs or he faced\n                  sudden death. She saw Poe intoxicated only once,\n                  after he had dined with Griswold; he was not given to\n                  drink until madness had begun from other causes; and\n                  he was \"not a sensualist in his mature manhood.\" She\n                  has the MSS. of \"To Mrs. M.L.S.\" and the valentine to\n                  Marie Louise. Poe's old military cloak was used to\n                  cover Virginia during her last sickness, and Poe wore\n                  it to her funeral.

Last\n                  week's Nation has critical reviews of both Ingram's\n                  and Stoddard's Memoirs of Poe. \n                   John Russell Bartlett has made a\n                  copy of \n                   Anna Blackwell's letter from\n                  Poe; Mrs. Whitman will copy it verbatim for Ingram\n                  [Item 33]. \n                   Maria Clemm did not mention \n                   Marie Louise Shew Houghton to\n                  Mrs. Whitman.","Nichols returns \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard's book\n                  which he thinks a shabby and nasty biography.","Poe was mortified over \n                   Maria Clemm's accepting money\n                  from \n                   Sarah Anna Lewis, which obliged\n                  him to praise her verse in print; he fled the house\n                  to escape her. He had a bundle of his mother's\n                  letters and two sketches, one of \n                   Boston harbor, 1808; Mrs. Clemm\n                  gave them to \n                   Rosalie Poe. Poe's estimate of \n                   John Henry Hopkins was wrong.\n                  Mrs. Clemm dressed very plainly, lectured her\n                  hostess, and worshiped the world; had she not covered\n                  over many things, many charitable persons in New York\n                  would willingly have helped save Poe. Mrs. Houghton\n                  has a picture very like the side view she had copied\n                  of \n                   Elizabeth Poe. Poe carefully\n                  wrote into Mrs. Houghton's album the verse \"Like All\n                  True Souls of Noble Birth,\" sent to her by \n                   Mary Gove Nichols. She has two\n                  of Poe's letters to her. He always treated her with\n                  respect, but he was \"so excentric [sic] and so unlike\n                  others\" that she was forced \"to define a position I\n                  was bound to take.\" A man named Jones came to her\n                  house recently asking to buy Poe biographical\n                  materials. She encloses a letter from \n                   Annie Richmond to her in which\n                  Mrs. Clemm is described as treacherous and cruel.","Poe suffered from \"mental isolation, living in\n                  dreams and bewildered by the real.\" He saw nothing\n                  wrong in his fulsome praise of \n                   Sarah Anna Lewis's poetry, since\n                  he was indebted to her. \n                   Maria Clemm engineered his\n                  marriage to Virginia to keep him from marrying \n                   Eliza White, who was capricious\n                  and addicted to morphia; but to Poe women were no\n                  more than a dream. He appeared to be faithful to\n                  Virginia during her lifetime. \n                   Rufus Griswold said that Poe left\n                  a bushel basket of letters addressed to him by women.\n                  He, Griswold, returned \n                   Elizabeth F. Ellet's letters to\n                  her. \n                   Thomas W. White distrusted Poe\n                  and was irritated by him. It was said that Poe had\n                  tried to seduce his stepmother, the second Mrs.\n                  Allan.","\n                   John Henry Hopkins has returned\n                  forty pages of her journal which contain Poe's\n                  accounts of having been wounded in a duel in a\n                  foreign port, of having written a sensational novel\n                  called \"Life of an Artist at Home and Abroad,\" which\n                  was later credited to \n                   Eugene Sue, and a poem called\n                  \"Humanity,\" credited to \n                   George Sand, and of having been\n                  nursed by a Scottish lady to whom he wrote a poem\n                  entitled \"Holy Eyes.\" He wrote \"The Beloved\n                  Physician\" two months after Virginia's death. Poe\n                  said that his brother was a dashing cavalier with\n                  more of the \n                   Poe nature than he himself had.\n                  Mrs. Houghton is suspicious and antagonistic toward \n                   Sarah Anna Lewis.","Mrs. Whitman finds Ingram's article on the\n                  philosophy of handwriting very piquant and\n                  entertaining; his article on Poe in the March\n                  International will live while Poe's memory endures.\n                  She remarks that Ingram has found \n                   Mary Gove Nichols \"fanciful.\"","Long, Professor of Ancient Languages at the \n                   University of Virginia in 1826,\n                  vaguely remembers Poe as being \"not among the worst\n                  and among the best\" students.

She had copied\n                  this miniature on ivory, and that copy is now in the\n                  possession of one of her children. Poe once attended\n                  church services with her. During the first part he\n                  followed the service and sang the psalms, but he\n                  became excited and rushed out. At the end of the\n                  service he reappeared. After that, he called on Dr. \n                   William Augustus Muhlenberg, the\n                  pastor. Mrs. Houghton offers to give \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman the jewel\n                  case that had belonged to Poe's mother.","Mrs. Whitman thinks Ingram's article on Poe in the\n                  Civil Service Review, ca. 1 April 1875, tears \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard's Memoir\n                  of Poe to shreds, but she fears it will cause\n                  trouble, since Stoddard controls the New York\n                  Tribune. She feels, too, that Ingram has brought her\n                  too openly in conflict with Stoddard.

Mrs. Whitman learned from \n                   Sallie E. Robins of Ohio that Poe\n                  was born in 1809; this information has come from Dr. \n                   Socrates Maupin and \n                   William Wertenbaker of the \n                   University of Virginia. \n                   Maria Clemm had once written to\n                  Mrs. Whitman that Poe could never remember dates and\n                  had to apply to her; it is possible that it was she\n                  who told him he was two years younger than he\n                  imagined, for Poe would not consciously have\n                  misrepresented his age. The portrait of Poe in \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard's article\n                  in Harper's does not resemble either of the two\n                  daguerreotypes of him that were taken in \n                   Providence.

Eveleth's doubt that\n                  Poe \"habitually\" resorted to intoxicating liquors.\n                  She thinks that Ingram admits too much in his\n                  references to this subject and that he will see\n                  \"occasion\" to qualify his statements.","Tutwiler knew Poe at the \n                   University of Virginia as\n                  belonging to a set of wild and dissipated students.\n                  He encloses extracts from a letter from \n                   Robert M.

Hunter remembers that Poe gave strict\n                  attention to metre and quantity in Professor \n                   George Long's class at the\n                  University.","Dr. \n                   John J.

Didier thinks the long\n                  letter about Poe which Mrs. Whitman wrote to him at\n                  his request will have great weight in disproving\n                  scandals about him, if it is published exactly as she\n                  wrote it. Mrs. Whitman is sure that her treatment of\n                  the subject will interest Ingram and meet with his\n                  cordial approval.

She believes the\n                  letters to be without parallel in the annals of love\n                  and shrinks from allowing the purity of them to be\n                  revealed to other eyes, but for the sake of refuting\n                  the calumnies that have been heaped on Poe through\n                  jealousy and envy, she is willing that Ingram use\n                  them.","Mrs. Richmond encloses copies of her sister \n                   Sarah Heywood's \"Recollections\n                  of Poe\" and Poe's letter of 23 November 1848, to \n                   Sarah Heywood.

She is unable to answer\n                  definitely many of Ingram's questions, for she did\n                  not comprehend the rare opportunities she had when\n                  Poe talked because wonder and admiration completely\n                  absorbed her. As he related them, the events of his\n                  life had a flavor of unreality, just like his\n                  stories.","Miss Blackwell denies that Ingram could possibly\n                  have a copy of a letter written to her by Poe because\n                  she had never received one from him.

It was \n                   Mary Gove Nichols who advised \n                   Anna Blackwell to board at the\n                  Poe cottage for a few weeks of country air and rest\n                  from her literary labors. After Miss Blackwell had\n                  given her Poe's letter, Mrs. Whitman gave it to the\n                  Hon. \n                   John Russell Bartlett of \n                   Providence for his valuable\n                  collection of autographs, and it was he who had\n                  allowed her to make the copy which she sent to\n                  Ingram. Mrs. Whitman is deeply wounded by the tone of\n                  Ingram's letter to her and by his disposition to\n                  cross-examine her testimony so peremptorily. She is\n                  not aware that \n                   Eugene L. Didier has ever spoken\n                  an unkind word about Ingram, and she wonders why they\n                  should be enemies.","The inclusion of Ingram's \"noble\" \"Memoir\" has\n                  rendered the Poe memorial volume an \"angel of\n                  reparation.\"","The files of the Flag of Our Union and some of\n                  Poe's MSS. were destroyed by fire in 1872 or 1873,\n                  but Mrs. Richmond knows where there is a collection\n                  of Graham's and Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, and if\n                  the numbers Ingram wants are among them they will be\n                  forwarded.

Mrs. Richmond is sorry that \n                   William F. Gill ever crossed her\n                  path, and her sister, \n                   Sarah Heywood, will write Gill\n                  requesting that he not publish her recollections of\n                  Poe. \n                   Jane E. Locke was deeply in love\n                  with Poe. Since her death, Mrs. Richmond has\n                  destroyed a large package of her letters that Poe had\n                  sent to her, but she encloses one memento of Mrs.\n                  Locke. She has given Poe's MS. of \"A Dream Within a\n                  Dream\" to Mrs. Crane of East Boston, at the\n                  intercession of her pastor, Reverend \n                   Warren H.

Ingram had said that\n                  he had lent her copy of the book to \"a friend\" who\n                  wrote the review. Mrs. Whitman considers the matter\n                  itself of little moment, but the animus of it is a\n                  rude shock to all her previous impressions of the\n                  young Englishman who had invoked her aid, had sought\n                  her confidence and criticism, and had hailed her as\n                  his \"Providence.\" She and Ingram seem to have been\n                  like ships that meet on sea, then pass to meet no\n                  more.","Valentine encloses copies of the inscriptions on\n                  the gravestones of \n                   John Allan, \n                   Frances Allan, and \n                   Ann Moore Valentine which are in\n                  the Allan section of the \n                   Shockoe Hill Cemetery in \n                   Richmond.","\n                   William F.

Eveleth questions a notice\n                  of \n                   William F. Gill's biography of\n                  Poe reporting in Scribner's that it has been well\n                  ascertained that Poe's intoxication was a thing\n                  caused by even the smallest quantity of wine and took\n                  the form of strange and highly intellectual but\n                  deranged orations on abstruse subjects. Eveleth wants\n                  to know how this has been ascertained. He points out\n                  that even \n                   Rufus Griswold did not charge Poe\n                  with habitual use of intoxicants and that \n                   N. P. Willis, \n                   George R. Graham, \n                   Frances S. Osgood, and \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman have said\n                  that they never discovered signs of strong drink in\n                  Poe. Why do the \n                   New York literati with whom Poe\n                  was personally acquainted not come forward to answer\n                  these questions about his drinking? Who has reported\n                  these \"deranged orations\"? Were they set down by Poe\n                  or by anyone for him? Are they part, or all, of his\n                  printed volumes? If so, the disorder assumed is\n                  nowhere manifest in the contents. Eveleth does not\n                  believe the stories of Poe's common drunkenness or of\n                  the crazing power of a drop of wine.","\n                   William F. Gill has shown himself\n                  to be an unscrupulous mountebank by using her sister \n                   Sarah Heywood's recollections of\n                  Poe in his volume after she had written him that she\n                  wanted to use her paper for an article of her own.\n                  Mrs. Richmond has reason to believe that at least one\n                  favorable review of Gill's biography was written for\n                  a consideration. She never liked Gill, found his\n                  personality disagreeable, but when Ingram wrote to\n                  her she felt immediately that he \"ought to know,\"\n                  that he \"must know,\" the things she knew about Poe.\n                  Poe told her that Flag of Our Union was a miserable\n                  paper but that the editors paid well. \n                   Maria Clemm had promised to leave\n                  to her all of her papers and letters. \n                   William Rouse has \n                   Edgar Poe's letter to \n                   William E. Burton of 1 June 1840\n                  [Item 18].","\n                   William F. Gill's publishing of\n                  extracts from letters of Poe to Mrs. Richmond is\n                  incomprehensible to her because Gill had only heard\n                  her read aloud portions of them some six or seven\n                  years earlier and the letters have never been out of\n                  her keeping.

Mrs. Richmond thinks that Gill's\n                  scandalous attack on Ingram in the Boston Sunday\n                  Herald for 18 November is beneath Ingram's notice.\n                  She is sorry that \n                   Marie Louise Shew Houghton has\n                  died. \n                   Elizabeth F. Ellet was once Poe's\n                  friend, but he said that she exasperated him beyond\n                  forgiveness. Poe made remarks about Mrs. Ellet and\n                  one or two other literary ladies in a letter to Mrs.\n                  Richmond, and for that reason, she suspects, \n                   Maria Clemm wanted to get\n                  possession of it.","Although often urged to do so, \n                   Annie Richmond has never sat for\n                  a photograph.

She met \n                   William F. Gill at the Old South\n                  Fair and shrank from him as if he had been a reptile.\n                  If she can make up her mind to sit for a photograph,\n                  Ingram shall have one.","Mrs. Richmond's MSS. of \"The Bells\" and \"A Dream\n                  Within a Dream\" have been lost by the photographer\n                  who was to make copies of them for Ingram.","If Ingram's words in some of his letters caused\n                  Mrs. Whitman pain during the past eventful year, the\n                  \"via dolorosa\" which she has \"of late\" been called to\n                  tread has \"effaced all minor sorrows, and regrets.\"\n                  She remembers only the happiness she felt in his\n                  earlier sympathy and friendship.

For Poe's\n                  sake, Mrs. Richmond has placed her correspondence and\n                  herself willingly and completely in Ingram's hands,\n                  asking only that he use the correspondence as he\n                  would wish another to use it if his wife or his\n                  sister were in her position. She feels acutely the\n                  delicacy of her relationship with Poe and knows well\n                  what nine out of ten people would make of it, given\n                  the opportunity Ingram has.","Poe's affection for Mrs. Richmond is the most\n                  precious memory her heart holds, and she has always\n                  spoken of him as an acquaintance and not as a friend\n                  because the world could not understand their\n                  friendship.

With all of her\n                  amiability and generosity, Mrs. Whitman was both\n                  cautious and prudent; she never gave to anyone her\n                  letters from Poe in their entirety. Miss Peckham\n                  discusses Mrs. Whitman's will. There was much\n                  complaint about the way her funeral was ordered, for\n                  her kinsmen and close friends were not notified. Only\n                  the \"Spiritualists\" and the \"radicals\" knew.","Valentine encloses a statement from \n                   Thomas G. Clarke about Poe's\n                  having swum five miles in the \n                   James River. Item 332\n                  enclosed.","Eveleth encloses his contribution toward the\n                  making-up of something close to a true estimate of\n                  Poe: newsclippings of Poe's exchange with \n                   Thomas Dunn English in 1846,\n                  copies of six letters from Poe to Eveleth, copies of\n                  letters to him from \n                   Maria Clemm, \n                   Sarah Anna Lewis, \n                   Elizabeth F. Ellet, \n                   Anne C. Lynch Botta, \n                   Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton, \n                   John H. B. Latrobe, \n                   John P. Kennedy, \n                   James Wood Davidson, Mrs.\n                  Whitman, and a copy of a letter Eveleth wrote to the\n                  editor of Scribner's Monthly. Eveleth has used the\n                  initials \"H. B. W.,\" which belong to \n                   Helen Bullock Webster, and\n                  Ingram is to do the same when he prints the letters.\n                  If Ingram can pay a trifle for these copies, it will\n                  be welcome, for Eveleth admits that he is poor\n                  enough. [This letter enclosed the following items:\n                  30, 33, 35, 40, 41, 58, 72, 73, 74, 75, 77, 78, 80,\n                  82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 96, 98, 99, 100, 101, 103,\n                  105, 114, 173, 266, 323.]","Ingram now has copies of all the correspondence\n                  Eveleth received from Poe except a mere note which\n                  was given away years ago to someone who wrote asking\n                  for a specimen of Poe's handwriting. Eveleth thinks \n                   John Neal's, \n                   George R. Graham's, and\n                  portions of \n                   James Wood Davidson's defenses\n                  of Poe had an undercurrent of the \n                   Rufus Griswold slanders while\n                  seeming to run in the opposite direction. \n                   John H. B. Latrobe's\n                  reminiscences are those of an old man in his second\n                  childhood. Ingram is at perfect liberty to reprint\n                  Eveleth's letters from Poe but without Eveleth's name\n                  or initials. Eveleth prefers not to part with the\n                  originals just yet but thinks that by and by he will\n                  send them to Ingram, if Ingram intimates an\n                  acceptance of them. The question of remuneration lies\n                  wholly with Ingram: if none, no grumbling.","Neither of Dr. \n                   John Bransby's sons survives.\n                  Hunter sends Ingram the names of Dr. Bransby's three\n                  daughters and encloses manuscript and printed copies\n                  of six of his own poems that he wishes Ingram to have\n                  inserted in some respectable English magazine.","Newspapers for 1810-1811 make no mention of \n                   David Poe appearing at the\n                  Baltimore Theatre. Judge \n                   Neilson Poe says that he has\n                  given away to autograph collectors nearly all of\n                  Poe's letters that were in his keeping. \n                   Thomas A. Edison keeps a copy of\n                  Poe's poems with him in his laboratory.","Mrs. Lewis saw much of Poe during the last year of\n                  his life and found him sensitive, gentle, and\n                  refined. The night before he left New York for\n                  Richmond in 1849, he had dinner and spent the night\n                  at her home. Having a presentiment that he would\n                  never see her again, he asked her to write his life,\n                  but she never felt equal to the task. Now Ingram has\n                  done it far better than she could have.","On his return to America, Lowell will send\n                  extracts from Poe's letters to him. Lowell visited\n                  Poe once in his \n                   New York lodgings, by\n                  appointment, and found Poe \"a little tipsy.\" The\n                  shape of Poe's head was peculiar: there was\n                  \"something snakelike about it.\" Lowell does not\n                  intend a moral judgment by this, only \"a physical\n                  suggestion.\" All impartial persons who had known Poe\n                  were of the opinion that he was untrustworthy.","The three published numbers of \n                   James Russell Lowell's Pioneer\n                  can still be picked up. If Ingram should sell or\n                  bequeath his Poe collection, it is to be hoped that\n                  it will come to some library in America. An American\n                  can better appreciate Poe's malice and fury as a\n                  critic of his contemporaries than can one at a\n                  distance. Poe gave a tone of vulgar personality to\n                  American criticism and was probably a sycophant in\n                  the direction of flattery. Higginson suggests that\n                  Ingram write to \n                   Charles J. Peterson, now owner\n                  of Peterson's Magazine.","Locker-Lampson gives Ingram permission to copy two\n                  letters now in his possession: one from Poe to \n                   Annie Richmond dated October\n                  1848, the other from Poe to \n                   John P. Kennedy dated 1836.","Peterson was associated with both \n                   Rufus Griswold and Poe on a\n                  magazine and knows and understands their characters\n                  thoroughly. Griswold was a coward unchecked by any\n                  high sense of honor; he hated and feared Poe; his\n                  biography of Poe was a malicious libel. Poe was,\n                  conventionally, a gentleman; his great fault was\n                  drinking. One or two drinks intoxicated him, and all\n                  that he did was done when thus half-demented; his\n                  mind was analytical rather than synthetical; he wrote\n                  \"The Raven\" and \"The Gold Bug\" backwards, and he\n                  spent hours discussing secret writing and inventing\n                  ciphers.","Judge \n                   Neilson Poe is kindly disposed\n                  towards the memory of Poe, but he is very slow in\n                  executing his promises. His wife and daughter feel\n                  great repugnance in having \n                   Virginia Poe's picture copied,\n                  for it was made after her death and shows\n                  unmistakable marks of that fact. Judge Poe has some\n                  poetry written by Virginia.","Browne is mailing to Ingram an engraved portrait\n                  of General \n                   Robert E. Lee and two photographs\n                  of Poe taken from negatives. These photographs are\n                  unvarnished and unmounted; they can be colored, if\n                  Ingram chooses.","Enclosed in Item 352. Poe was not his roommate at\n                  the \n                   University of Virginia. Poe\n                  roomed on the West side of the Lawn, afterwards\n                  moving to the West Range. George remembers a\n                  \"pugilistic combat,\" but \"it was a boyish freak \u0026\n                  frolic.\" Poe was fond of reading other poets and his\n                  own poetry to entertain his friends, then suddenly he\n                  would begin sketching with charcoal on the walls of\n                  his room. He was excitable, restless, at times\n                  wayward, melancholic, and morose. In other moods he\n                  would be frolicsome, full of fun, and a most\n                  attractive and agreeable companion. He was of a\n                  delicate mold and slender; his legs were not bowed,\n                  and he weighed between 130 and 140 pounds. To calm\n                  himself he too often put himself under the influence\n                  of wine.","Valentine passed an evening lately with Mrs. \n                   John Allan at her home, but of\n                  course no mention was made of Poe. Valentine encloses\n                  a copy of Dr. \n                   Miles George's letter to him of\n                  18 May 1880.","Mrs. Richmond hopes her letters from Poe will not\n                  be printed in Ingram's new volume; if they are, she\n                  will not be surprised or shocked, but there will be\n                  life-long regret. She is pleased with \n                   E. C. Stedman's remarks about\n                  \"For Annie\" in his sketch of Poe in Scribner's\n                  Monthly.","\"Day and night my thoughts incline / To the\n                  blandishments of wine.\"","The tone of Ingram's letter is more gratifying\n                  than \"the hidden and unexpected blast\" he gave\n                  Stedman in the London Athenaeum. His article is\n                  merely a chapter in a book; after that, Stedman will\n                  have done with Poe. He thinks Poe's tales are his\n                  finest and strongest work. Stedman is not on friendly\n                  terms with \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard but\n                  regards him as a man of talent and a formidable\n                  adversary.","Mrs. Shelton appreciates the copy of Ingram's\n                  two-volume biography of Poe that he sent to her; it\n                  brings both sad and pleasant memories to her. She is\n                  glad that Ingram is doing Poe the justice she\n                  believes he deserves.","Mrs. Richmond is terribly shocked to see her\n                  letters from Poe printed \"word for word\" in Ingram's\n                  new biography of Poe, for she had assumed that he\n                  would \"merely give the ideas of the writer.\" There\n                  are things in the letters which might be construed to\n                  Poe's disadvantage, and she thought the liberty\n                  granted for publication had been restricted and\n                  confined to very narrow limits by her injunction that\n                  he was to give to the public only what he would have\n                  been willing to be known had the letters been\n                  addressed to his wife or to his sister. Would he have\n                  printed \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman's letters\n                  from Poe had she been alive?","Father Tabb sends information about Poe that he\n                  has gathered from various persons who had known him\n                  well. He encloses a sonnet about Poe to be forwarded\n                  to Ingram.","This letter contains copies of nine letters from\n                  Poe to Dr. \n                   Joseph E. Snodgrass. The copies\n                  were made for Ingram by Browne \"with the exactest\n                  care.\" [They are Items 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22,\n                  24, 25.] Browne mailed this letter together with Item\n                  360.","The old vindictiveness against Poe still crops up\n                  in the Northern newspapers, partly because they hate\n                  the South and partly because some of the old\n                  mutual-admiration set still survive and have never\n                  forgiven Poe for telling them the truth about\n                  themselves. Browne encloses reminiscences of Poe\n                  which had been collected by Reverend \n                   John B. Tabb and a copy of the\n                  note sent by \n                   Joseph W. Walker to Dr. \n                   Joseph E. Snodgrass on 3 October\n                  1849, informing him that a man named Poe was at\n                  Ryan's 4th ward polls in \n                   Baltimore and in need of\n                  assistance. Browne accompanied this letter with Item\n                  359, containing copies of nine letters from Poe to\n                  Snodgrass. Item 359 enclosed.","\n                   Charles Ellis, \n                   Richmond : as a child Poe\n                  constantly led other youngsters into mischief. \n                   I. F. Allen, \n                   Richmond : Miss \n                   Jane Mackenzie, who educated \n                   Rosalie Poe and to whom Edgar\n                  submitted his juvenile poems, said the poems were\n                  worthless imitations of Byron, blended with some\n                  original nonsense; she tells the story of Poe's\n                  having pushed his way into the Allan house during \n                   John Allan's last days. Mr.\n                  Poiteaux, \n                   Richmond : Poe's two natures,\n                  tenderness and cruelty, swayed him in turn; at one\n                  time, to spite Mrs. Allan, he cut the throat of her\n                  pet fawn; he once crossed a ravine on the timbers of\n                  an old bridge, to the surprise and admiration of the\n                  boys; he recited \"Al Aaraaf\" for the girls' amusement\n                  and laughter. Dr. \n                   George W. Rawlings, \n                   Richmond : attended Poe in one of\n                  his drunken spells not long before his death; Poe\n                  told him, when his mind was quite clear, that the\n                  phantasms of mania were always delightful, that he\n                  saw nothing but visions of beauty and heard sweet\n                  music. Dr. \n                   [James?] Beale and Dr. \n                   [William P.?] Palmer, \n                   Richmond : Poe was utterly devoid\n                  of all moral sense, seemed really incapable of\n                  distinguishing between right and wrong. \n                   Lewis E.

He thinks there is no complete, correct\n                  edition of the poems; and although not all Poe's\n                  verse is worth the trouble, he believes that it would\n                  be well to preserve everything that could throw light\n                  upon the growth and quality of so marked a\n                  genius.","On what authority does Ingram write that there is\n                  still a family calling themselves \"de la Poe\"? Does\n                  Ingram know anything of a Dr. Poe in the time of\n                  Elizabeth and James I?

Poe's character cannot be sustained,\n                  except on the theory that he was of unsound mind. If\n                  he was responsible, he was a bad fellow.... His\n                  nature was, from the first, of a sinister cast....\n                  Griswold, in his facts, is very near the truth....\n                  The Conchology is a frightful affair --as plain a\n                  theft as ever was.

The important thing is that here, very early, he had\n         epitomized his guiding philosophy as a writer and an editor.\n         His job, as he saw it, was to learn all that had been done on\n         whatever subject he was engaged and to strive passionately to\n         produce a work of his own that would be significant for its\n         completeness.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis book on floriography was the product of a rapidly\n         maturing scholar, not that of a youth of nineteen, as his\n         later juggling of his birth date would have it appear. He was\n         actually twenty-six years old when he first demonstrated his\n         abilities as a compiler, editor, and author. Everything about\n         this volume shows that Ingram's methods in bookmaking were\n         rather firmly decided upon before he commenced his important\n         work on Poe, and he altered those methods scarcely at all, no\n         matter what his subject, in the next forty-eight years.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHaving served his literary apprenticeship, \n          John Ingram was ready, by 1870, to begin\n         writing books that would, he hoped, be financially profitable\n         and at the same time bring to him lasting literary fame. He\n         had already, for a long while, studied Poe's writings, reading\n         and collecting everything he saw about the poet, and he became\n         possessed by a deep, almost instinctive belief that Poe had\n         been cruelly wronged by the Memoir that \n          Rufus W. Griswold had written and\n         published in l850. And so, \n          John Ingram found his work: he determined\n         to destroy Griswold's Memoir of Poe by proving its author a\n         liar and a forger, and, in time, to write a new biography that\n         would present to the world \n          Edgar Poe as he really was. In order to do\n         these things it would be necessary, of course, for him to\n         examine everything, both favorable and unfavorable, that had\n         been written about Poe, to search for new material, and to\n         learn so much about Poe that he could reconstruct, as it were,\n         the true character of the man and writer, as he felt it to\n         be.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAt this point, Ingram's life appeared to have a certain\n         stability. He had a respectable and obviously not too\n         demanding job that assured financial independence, and he was\n         the author of a book popular enough to call for three\n         editions, which brought to him a certain amount of literary\n         recognition. But there was another side to his nature, a\n         darker side that tormented and divided his life. As he began\n         assembling materials for a defense of \n          Edgar Poe he worked spasmodically, beset\n         by worry, self-doubt, trouble, and fear. His temper was quick\n         to explode and his sensitive nature found injury and fault\n         where little or none of either was intended or existed. Some\n         explanation of this duality in his nature is found in a shamed\n         confession he made to Mrs. Whitman about the hereditary curse\n         that hung over his household: two aunts, his father, and a\n         sister, one after the other, had succumbed to insanity and had\n         either died or had to be removed from home. His own mind was\n         as clear and acute as possible, he insisted, and the family\n         curse appeared unlikely to fall upon him if his worldly\n         affairs jogged along composedly, but the knowledge of the\n         taint in his blood was a terrible thing to him. Perhaps there\n         is enough here to explain why Ingram's disposition early\n         became choleric, why he never married, and why he suffered all\n         of his life from recurring sicknesses, real or imaginary.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBy 1870 there was a growing international interest in Poe's\n         genius. A new generation had grown up to be fascinated by his\n         tales and poems, and the older generations had in a measure\n         forgotten the unpleasant stories connected with Poe's life. A\n         minority group of Poe's friends in \n          America knew that Griswold's Memoir had\n         been motivated by jealousy and hatred, but no one of them had\n         the information, the literary ability, and the strength\n         necessary to publish an effectively documented denial of\n         Grisold's Memoir and to replace it with an honest biography.\n         These friends of Poe's were widely separated, largely unknown\n         to each other; all had been seriously affected by a decade of\n         war and its aftermath, and all of them were growing old. If\n         Poe's memory was to be vindicated, it was fairly certain that\n         it would have to be done by someone younger, someone who would\n         not personally have known Poe. Not a single one of Poe's close\n         friends who still lived in the l870's had any idea or plan for\n         doing the job himself, but a number of them were eager to help\n         someone else do it.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSuch, in brief, was the situation when \n          John Henry Ingram of \n          Stoke Newington determined to prove to the\n         world his theory that \n          Rufus Griswold had been a liar and that \n          Edgar Poe had been shamefully\n         maligned.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe first articles Ingram published in l873 and early l874\n         had little new information in them which would vindicate Poe's\n         reputation; Ingram was of necessity feeling his way, and he\n         used these magazine publications to announce clearly his\n         purpose, before diving into the melee. He intended to refute,\n         step by step, the aspersions cast on Poe's character by\n         Griswold and to publish an edition of Poe's works which would\n         not only be more complete than any hitherto published, but\n         which, through a Memoir as its Preface, would clear Poe's name\n         and present him to the world as the great artist and fine\n         gentleman he really was.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAfter his first flight into the thin air of creative and\n         imaginative writing, Ingram's muse brought him closer to earth\n         and he really found himself at home in the murky atmosphere of\n         the \n          British Museum. Ingram was a natural\n         researcher. Armed with righteous indignation and the tools of\n         scholarship, he became a crusader enlisted in a holy cause;\n         the peculiar combination within him of a sensitive, poetic\n         soul and a zealot's concentrated energy uniquely fitted him\n         for the challenging job of righting the wrongs he believed had\n         been done to Poe.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eHaving exhausted his resources at hand, Ingram turned to \n          America in the hope of finding there\n         friends of Poe who still resented the injustice done to him\n         enough to help clear his name. The adroit timing and the\n         felicity of this plan quickly became apparent. It was not\n         difficult for Ingram to communicate his sincere feeling that\n         his work was a crusade against evil, and Poe's friends were\n         delighted with the boyish fervor of this young and already\n         distinguished English scholar who was so unselfishly\n         championing the poet's blighted reputation. Poe had been dead\n         for nearly twenty-five years and many of his friends were\n         hastening to their own graves, but they responded immediately\n         to Ingram's letters and joined in a tireless search for\n         recollections of Poe's literary and personal activities,\n         sending letters Poe had written to them, manuscripts, books,\n         and even personal keepsakes Poe had given to them. \n          Sarah Helen Whitman, excited over the\n         prospect of Ingram's writing an authoritative biography of\n         Poe, wrote out for him everything she could remember of her\n         personal meetings with Poe, sent him manuscripts, hundreds of\n         newsclippings, magazine articles, copied letters and excerpts\n         from articles, and gave unreservedly from her remarkable store\n         of information about what others had written and said about\n         Poe. \n          Annie Richmond entrusted to Ingram the\n         only copies she had ever made of her precious letters from\n         Poe, and sent him copies of Poe's books that had been found in\n         Poe's trunk after he died. \n          Marie Louise Shew Houghton sent letters\n         and copies of letters from Poe, a miniature of Poe's mother,\n         and at least three manuscript poems Poe had given her. \n          Stella Lewis gave him Poe's manuscript of\n         \"Politian,\" and willed to him the daguerreotype which Poe had\n         given to her in l848. \n          Edward V. Valentine of \n          Richmond, \n          William Hand Browne of \n          Johns Hopkins University, \n          John Neal, Poe's sister Rosalie, the \n          Poe family in \n          Baltimore, including \n          Neilson Poe and his daughter Amelia, and\n         many, many others contributed to Ingram's surprisingly large\n         store of information about Poe. And when \n          William Fearing Gill and \n          Eugene L. Didier came to many of these\n         same persons asking for help on their biographies of Poe,\n         these correspondents showed a surprising disposition to\n         withhold everything for Ingram and to betray to him the\n         activities of his American rivals. Later when violent personal\n         and literary quarrels broke out between Ingram and these\n         American biographers of Poe, Ingram's epistolary friends\n         encouraged him in private correspondence and defended him\n         vigorously in the public press. Poe's friends had become\n         Ingram's partisans. A steadily rising stream of books,\n         letters, manuscripts, pictures, and newsclippings passed from \n          America to \n          England, with a few of them, but very\n         few, finding their way back again. The aggregate of Ingram's\n         correspondence on Poe matters is staggering when one realizes\n         that he carried it on single-handedly, and published during\n         these years sixteen books on other subjects while holding an\n         everyday job at the General Post Office.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eFrom the two bound volumes of the \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eBroadway Journal\u003c/title\u003e that\n         Mrs. Whitman sent, Ingram was able to make a number of\n         important additions to the cannon of Poe's writings when he\n         published his edition of Poe's works. Poe had given these\n         volumes, covering his editorship of the Journal, to Mrs.\n         Whitman in l848, and had gone through them and initialed with\n         \"P\" almost everything he had written. Mrs. Whitman had first\n         offered to lend these volumes to Ingram, but then, feeling the\n         time of her death drawing near, she decided to give them to\n         him. Accordingly, on April 2, 1874, she mailed them with the\n         injunction that they be returned to her \"at the opening of the\n         seventh seal.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn the Preface of his l880 two-volume biography of Poe, \n          John Ingram bade farewell \"to what has\n         engrossed so much of my life and labour.\" He was convinced\n         that he had garnered almost all of the genuine Poe documents\n         there were and that his accurate and complete biography had\n         dealt conclusively with everything of importance concerning\n         Poe. His work was finished, he sincerely thought.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBut Ingram was not through with Poe. He should have\n         understood himself and the reputation he had acquired as a Poe\n         scholar well enough to know that he could not be through. The\n         popularity of his edition had created a large market for Poe's\n         writings and his biography had stirred up so much controversy,\n         particularly in \n          America, that he had rather to increase\n         sharply his activities, for he was quickly challenged about\n         statements in his published works. Quick to resent\n         encroachment on what he considered his private preserves, he\n         rapidly found himself at odds with a number of persons who had\n         begun writing on Poe, for he could detect in their\n         publications borrowings from his own, borrowings made more\n         often than not without acknowledgment.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIngram could not copyright facts, and he grew steadily more\n         embittered as he saw the fruits of his research become public\n         property. A new era of investigation into Poe's writings and\n         life was beginning in \n          America, an era brought about principally\n         by Ingram's controversial personality and by the tone of his\n         published writings about Poe. Competent scholars were entering\n         the field to contest Ingram's claims of being the leading Poe\n         authority, and these new American writers were rapidly making\n         the early efforts of W. F. Gill and Eugene Didier appear\n         puerile indeed. \n          George W. Woodberry, \n          Edmund C. Stedman, and \n          R. H. Stoddard were formidable new\n         biographers and suitors of Poe, and Ingram had not as yet, in\n         the 1880's, taken their measure. Far from being finished with\n         his work, he was really only beginning. During the next\n         thirty-five years he struck back angrily through the columns\n         of important newspapers and journals --to which his reputation\n         as a Poe scholar gave him easy access --at other writers who,\n         as he saw it, had stolen his Poe materials or who had altered\n         the Poe image he had tried so hard to create. When reviewing\n         new editions and biographies of Poe, Ingram tried to demolish\n         them with a wit as rapier-like as was Poe's; unfortunately for\n         him, his witty thrusts resembled broad-ax blows. Where Poe had\n         been original and cruel, Ingram was simply sarcastic and\n         repetitious. But through their reviews Ingram and Poe did\n         achieve the same result: they both made enduring, deadly,\n         vociferous enemies.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1884 Ingram edited a de luxe four-volume edition of\n         Tales and Poems of \n          Edgar Allan Poe for English publication,\n         and for the \n          Tauchnitz Press in \n          Leipzig he edited separate volumes of\n         Poe's Tales and Poems; in 1885 he published a volume on Poe's\n         \"The Raven\"; in 1886 he prepared a one-volume reprint of the\n         two-volume biography of Poe he had issued in 1880; and in 1888\n         he brought out the first variorum edition of Poe's poems. With\n         these publications Ingram was represented on the literary\n         market by one edition or another which covered every phase of\n         Poe's activities. Thus, finally, was completed the body of his\n         important work on Poe.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn still another sense \n          John Ingram's work on Poe was finished.\n         His whole method of investigation had been based on personal\n         correspondence with Poe's friends, and year by year the circle\n         had grown smaller until, in 1888, only \n          Annie Richmond was left. His early, happy\n         inspiration of searching out Poe's friends had yielded rich\n         results. Now those persons were silent, but their memories,\n         their letters, and their precious papers had been given into\n         Ingram's keeping; and he had used most of these things in\n         publishing in every area of Poe scholarship, until, at the\n         close of 1888, there was literally nothing left for him to do.\n         But his collection remained and was the envy of Poe scholars\n         everywhere.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\n          John Ingram was retired with a pension\n         from the Civil Service in 1903, after thirty-five years in the\n         General Post Office. He continued living in \n          London with his only remaining sister,\n         Laura, writing articles, caustically reviewing new books about\n         Poe and new editions of Poe's works, and in 1909 Ingram led\n         the English celebration of Poe's centenary, bringing out still\n         another edition of Poe's poems and furnishing to the London\n         Bookman practically all of the materials used in its \n          Edgar Allan Poe Centenary Number. In these\n         years of retirement Ingram began putting into final form his\n         definitive biography of Poe. He felt he could use everything\n         in his files, now that all of the people who had sent\n         materials to him were dead, to achieve the distinction he\n         wanted more than anything else --to be remembered by the world\n         as the one authentic and complete biographer of Edgar Poe. In\n         1912 Ingram moved his household from \n          London to \n          Brighton. There for a few years he\n         enjoyed the sea-bathing he loved so well, and there he died on\n         February 12, 1916. His passing went unnoticed. His last\n         sickness had evidently not been considered terminal and his\n         death must have come unexpectedly, for he left no clear-cut\n         arrangements for disposing of his affairs or for the huge\n         collection of Poe materials, the pride of his life. It is\n         strange that he had not long before made definite provision\n         for his Poe collection, for it constituted his greatest claim\n         to personal and literary fame, and \n          John Ingram was a man mindful of history's\n         judgment. Through the years, it is true, he had sold almost\n         all of his original Poe letters and some of the more important\n         items given him by Poe's friends, but he had kept accurate\n         copies of everything he had sold. Ingram had justified his\n         actions by insisting he had sacrificed his own fortune and\n         health in trying to clear Poe's name and if his work was to\n         continue the sales were necessary to provide money for it.\n         Even though these original letters and manuscripts were no\n         longer part of his collection, the things that remained were\n         very important, and \n          John Ingram knew it. Nothing else he had\n         published had brought his name before the world as had his\n         publications on Poe and the reputation he had gained as a\n         collector of Poe materials.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIII\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eShortly after John Ingram's death, Miss \n          Laura Ingram caused something of a stir in\n         the scholarly worlds of \n          England and \n          America by advertising for sale her\n         brother's entire library. Although \n          John Ingram had become an anachronism, his\n         out-dated biographical methods having long been superseded by\n         the careful, painstaking, scholarly practices of Professors \n          James A. Harrison and \n          Killis Campbell, the number of important\n         \"first\" Poe publications Ingram had scored was still green in\n         the memories of all concerned. Poe scholars knew that in his\n         declining years Ingram had lost his knack of ferreting out new\n         and important facts about Poe, but they also knew that shortly\n         before his death Ingram had completed a new biography of Poe.\n         While they did not expect that manuscript to be among the\n         papers offered for sale, there was every reason to believe the\n         materials from which he had written it would be. More\n         important than this, scholars everywhere wanted to see those\n         original manuscripts and letters by means of which Ingram had\n         forty years before made so many important contributions to Poe\n         biography.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eWord of the proposed sale reached the \n          University of Virginia early in the summer\n         of 1916. Librarian \n          John S. Patton promptly sent an inquiry to\n         Ingram's heirs, through the American Consul in \n          London, asking what books and papers\n         about Poe were to be sold. Miss \n          Laura Ingram as promptly answered his\n         inquiry and enclosed a partial list of the Poe books, letters,\n         and papers she wished to sell, asking l50 pounds sterling for\n         the lot. Patton felt this too inclusive a basis on which to\n         buy, so he countered with a proposition that Miss Ingram send\n         the entire collection to \n          Virginia for examination and evaluation;\n         for an option to buy any or all of the collection the\n         University would pay shipping expenses and insurance from \n          England to \n          America, and back again, if need be.\n         Patton's interest was principally in the letters and portraits\n         in the collection; the University, he wrote, not altogether\n         accurately, already had most of the books on Poe that Miss\n         Ingram had listed.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMiss Ingram agreed to Patton's proposal but delayed the\n         shipment because there was a great risk of losing the\n         collection. \n          England was at war with \n          Germany and enemy submarines had begun\n         taking a heavy toll of English merchant shipping. After a few\n         months, when the immediacies of war occupied both Miss Ingram\n         and the University officials, correspondence about the Poe\n         papers was dropped.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn 1919, \n          James Southall Wilson, a young Professor\n         of English from \n          William and Mary came to join the \n          University of Virginia faculty. A seminar\n         course on Poe's works was being organized for the first time\n         at the University and Dr. Wilson was scheduled to teach it.\n         Although he was not at the time either a Poe specialist or a\n         specialist in American literature Dr. Wilson had, however,\n         long been keenly interested in Poe's writings. Shortly after\n         his arrival, \n          John Patton mentioned to him in casual\n         conversation that he had a partial list of \n          John Ingram's Poe Collection which had\n         been for sale some years before. When Dr. Wilson saw the list\n         his imagination quickly became fired with the possibilities of\n         what the whole collection might be; so he maneuvered hastily,\n         to enlist President \n          Edwin A. Alderman's support, gathered\n         accumulated Library funds, and reopened the correspondence\n         with Miss Ingram about her brother's papers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMiss Ingram's health had been seriously affected by her\n         brother's death and by the privations of the war; once the\n         fighting was over she had begun making hurried efforts to\n         dispose of the Poe papers to any acceptable university or\n         library authorities. She had wanted them to go to the \n          University of Virginia for safekeeping,\n         since her brother had paid marked attention to Poe's alma\n         mater, but a number of years had passed without further word\n         from \n          Charlottesville. Fearfully believing her\n         own death to be at hand, she had seized an opportunity to sell\n         the papers to the \n          University of Texas.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eProfessor \n          Killis Campbell, an editor of Poe's poems\n         and himself a Virginian, wrote Miss Ingram, as Chairman of the\n          Department of English at the University of\n         Texas, that he would consider buying her Poe papers\n         only after the \n          University of Virginia had definitely\n         refused their purchase.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eStill another possible solution to Miss Ingram's problem\n         then presented itself: a Harvard Professor, vacationing in\n         England, came to \n          Brighton to examine the Poe collection,\n         with the idea of buying it for his university.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAt this point Miss Ingram received Dr. Wilson's renewed\n         request to ship the papers on approval to \n          Virginia. She did not want this\n         indefiniteness. Getting the papers packed and shipped,\n         furthermore, would be a difficult and confusing job, for the\n         Poe collection had somehow become mixed with the remnants of \n          John Ingram's once enviable collections\n         of materials about \n          Christopher Marlowe, Chatterton, \n          Oliver Madox-Brown, and \n          Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Sudden\n         interest in the Poe papers on the part of an English purchaser\n         offered her a way out. She stopped short and awaited an offer\n         from any one of the prospective buyers who would relieve her\n         of the trouble of packing and shipping the papers. A quick\n         acceptance of her terms by the English agent, the Harvard\n         professor, or by the \n          University of Texas would have changed the\n         fate of the Poe papers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe \n          University of Virginia's correspondence\n         about the papers had not involved an agent, since it was begun\n         and ended by personal letters between \n          John Patton, Dr. Wilson, and Miss Ingram.\n         Yet, some knowledge of the prospective return of \n          John Ingram's Poe papers to \n          America reached numerous scholars,\n         authors, teachers, and booksellers, for they began sending\n         requests to the \n          University of Virginia for permission to\n         examine and use or to purchase portions of the collection. The\n         first word the University itself had that they were to receive\n         the Poe Collection came from \n          J. H. Whitty, \n          Richmond book collector and editor of\n         Poe's poems, who wrote \n          John Patton on September 23, 1921, saying\n         the papers were even then enroute from \n          England to the University. This\n         information, Whitty wrote in sly confidence, he had picked up\n         through the bookseller's \"grapevine.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIn mid-October, 192l, the collection arrived in the \n          United States aboard the SS Northwestern\n         Miller, which docked at \n          Philadelphia.

And among the\n         hundreds of letters from Ingram's correspondents, perhaps none\n         were more interesting to Dr. Wilson, nor to Poe students\n         later, than those from \n          Sarah Helen Whitman. This strange and\n         charming woman had cherished for twenty-five years the image\n         of herself as his one great love, after her brief engagement\n         of three months to Poe in l848, and she had written to \n          John Ingram the fullest account there is\n         of their personal relationships. Her ninety-eight letters to\n         Ingram narrowly escaped being destroyed by \n          Laura Ingram, who felt, for reasons best\n         known to herself, Mrs. Whitman's letters were unfit to be in\n         her brother's collection.

For the entire\n         collection, \n          John Patton offered 181 pounds, 14\n         shillings ($800), on March 24, 1922.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMiss Ingram gladly accepted the money and she wrote to the\n         officials of the University how pleased she was that what she\n         believed to be her dead brother's wish had been carried out:\n         his Poe collection was at home in \n          America, and in \n          Virginia, where she was sure he would\n         have wanted it to be. And she continued her interest in the\n         University, quite often sending cordial letters accompanied by\n         packages of books, pictures, and letters which she had come\n         across and thought belonged with her brother's Poe collection.\n         In 1933, when once again Miss Ingram thought her death was\n         near, she sent to the University, as a gift, John Ingram's\n         manuscript, \"The True Story of \n          Edgar Allan Poe. \" This manuscript had\n         been in a publisher's hands when Ingram died, but printing was\n         delayed until the war should be over. Before that time came,\n         however, the publisher had himself died, and \n          Laura Ingram had tried without success to\n         place it with other publishers. Its presence in the house made\n         her uncomfortable. Would the University accept it and deal\n         with it as they saw fit?\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe whole tone of this manuscript convinces the reader that\n          John Ingram considered this last\n         biography, his farewell to Poe scholarship, to be a volume\n         that would triumphantly answer his critics, and would be the\n         foundation-stone upon which he would be able to stand forever\n         as the uncontestable arbiter of all things concerning Poe. In\n         this work he resurveyed his whole knowledge and experience and\n         fearlessly handed down his dicta on all controversial Poe\n         questions. But unfortunately his spleen overrode his scholarly\n         judgment. His virulence against other Poe biographers,\n         especially the Americans whom he accused of fraudulently using\n         his materials, succeeded in clouding Ingram's own vision and\n         writing, and succeeds in destroying for his present day reader\n         the confidence necessary in an author's balanced judgment, if\n         he is to accept, even partially, the arbitrary rulings. This\n         manuscript is not, as Ingram thought it would be, the last\n         word on Poe. It is unrelentingly bitter against Poe's\n         detractors and Ingram's personal rivals, and it seeks, even\n         more than did Ingram's other writings on Poe, to whitewash its\n         subject completely.

By studying Ingram's papers it is\n         possible to trace him through a maze of editing and publishing\n         and to watch him, step by step, slowly amass his great fund of\n         information about Poe. One can see him make mistakes and\n         achieve triumphs as he accepts, rejects, and fuses information\n         to be included in his numerous publications on Poe. Then, too,\n         it is still possible to catch fresh glimpses of Poe himself in\n         this collection, for Ingram did not publish all of the\n         memories of Poe set down in the letters he received. Some of\n         these recollections Ingram deliberately shielded from public\n         view, but they are no more apocryphal than many of the\n         recollections he chose to believe and to publish; some of the\n         records Ingram received he suppressed from delicacy alone.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eA number of scholarly papers, theses, and doctoral\n         dissertations have been based on this collection of Poe\n         papers, making almost all the more important items and\n         clusters of items more readily available to other scholars.\n         The complete collection has made possible another kind of\n         study, by an examination of Ingram's biographies and editions\n         of Poe, in conjunction with the rough materials from which he\n         shaped them, it has been possible to make a just evaluation of\n         Ingram's place among Poe biographers and editors and to\n         demonstrate exactly what and how many important contributions\n         he made to the peculiarly difficult field of Poe scholarship.\n         Finally, and by no means least important, is the fact that,\n         since Ingram's work on Poe covered nearly his whole life span,\n         it has been possible for the first time to trace in the great\n         mass of his papers a thread of the biography of this\n         nineteenth-century professional editor and biographer to whom\n         the writer of every signifcant work about Poe since 1874 has\n         been directly and heavily indebted.\u003c/p\u003e"],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biography"],"bioghist_tesim":["\n          JOHN HENRY INGRAM : EDITOR, BIOGRAPHER,\n         AND COLLECTOR OF POE MATERIALS","by \n          John Carl Miller ","When \n          John Ingram died in \n          Brighton, England, on February l2, l9l6,\n         he had, as he expressed it, \"a room-full of Poe.\" At that time\n         scholars on both sides of the Atlantic were well aware of\n         Ingram's collection of Poe materials. Both its size and value\n         had been suggested by Ingram's four-volume edition of Poe's\n         works, prefaced by an original and controversial Memoir, and\n         its worth had further been proved by the two-volume biography\n         of Poe in which Ingram had published a great deal of new and\n         important information. So impressed was the \n          New England editor and critic \n          Thomas Wentworth Higginson that he\n         addressed an anxious communication to Ingram on February l,\n         l880, about his collection: \"I hope that if you should ever\n         have occasion to sell it or should bequeath it (absit omen! in\n         either case) it may come to some Public Library in this\n         country.\"","Ingram's Poe collection was to grow enormously through many\n         more years, and in the end Higginson's wish was to be\n         fulfilled: it was sold and it did come to \n          America, to the \n          Alderman Library at the University of\n         Virginia.","This is the curious story of how it happened.","Interest in the life and work of \n          Edgar Poe was part of Ingram's childhood;\n         in his adulthood it became his obsession. By his statement, he\n         spent sixty-two years writing about Poe and collecting Poe\n         materials. We can be sure he spent as many as fifty-three, for\n         he published a poem called \"Hope: An Allegory,\" written in\n         imitation of Poe's \"Ulalume,\" in 1863, and in the month before\n         he died he published a tart note, setting the record straight\n         about Dr. Bransby's school at \n          Stoke Newington. He filled the\n         intervening years with almost ceaseless attention to Poe: he\n         wrote two biographies, several Memoirs, more than fifty\n         magazine articles, as well as Prefaces and Introductions to\n         writings on Poe by others, and he published and republished\n         Poe's tales, poems, and essays in eight separate editions.\n         During these years he carried on bitter warfare in print with\n         almost every person who wrote about Poe anywhere, especially\n         if the writer was an American, for \n          John Ingram secretly regarded himself as\n         the sole redeemer of Poe's besmirched personal reputation and\n         as the person most responsible for Poe's renewed, world-wide\n         literary reputation.","II","\n          John Henry Ingram was born on November 16,\n         1842, at 29 City Road, \n          Finnsbury, Middlesex, and spent his\n         childhood in \n          Stoke Newington, the \n          London suburb where young Poe had himself\n         lived. The \n          Stoke Newington Manor House School, which\n         Poe describes in \"William Wilson,\" was standing in Ingram's\n         youth, and he was quite conscious of it as a tangible link\n         between his own life and Poe's. On March 6, l874, Ingram wrote\n         an autobiographical account to \n          Sarah Helen Whitman, clearly\n         acknowledging Poe's influence on his early life:","\"As a child, before I could read, I determined as I\n               looked at my father's great books and saw how they\n               interested him, to become an author and by the time I\n               could spell words of one syllable I began to write, but\n               in prose. One night when I was still a boy I went into\n               my own room, and for the five-hundreth time, began to\n               read out of Routledge's little volume of \n                Edgar Poe's poems. Suddenly,\n               something stirred me till I shuddered with intense\n               excitement. \"I felt as if a star had burst within my\n               brain.\" I fell on my knees and prayed as I only could\n               pray then, and thanked my Creator for having made me a\n               poet!\"","But \n          John Ingram was not destined to become a\n         poet, and he soon realized it. After publishing and\n         suppressing his first volume of poetry in 1863, he wrote a\n         pathetic \"Farewell to Poesy\" in 1864, bidding adieu to what\n         was then the dearest hope of his life.","Private tutors and private schools furnished \n          John Ingram's formal education during his\n         childhood, until he entered \n          Lyonsdown. Later, after he had registered\n         at the \n          City of London College, his father died,\n         and Ingram was forced to withdraw and take up the job of\n         supporting himself, his mother, and his two sisters. On\n         January l3, l868, he received a Civil Service Commission, with\n         an appointment to the \n          Savings Bank Department of the London General Post\n         Office.","Ingram then molded his life into a pattern which he\n         followed doggedly for the rest of his days. He spent his days\n         working at his clerkship and he spent his evenings studying,\n         writing, and lecturing, complaining irascibly when social\n         invitations or professional functions forced him to break this\n         routine.","On Saturday afternoons his friends could always find \n          John Ingram in the \n          Reading Room of the British Museum\n         Library. He had learned to speak and write French,\n         German, Spanish, and Italian (later in life he added a working\n         knowledge of Portuguese and Hungarian). He contributed\n         literary articles to leading reviews in \n          England, \n          France, and \n          America, and he lectured frequently, for\n         pay, on contemporary literature. He broke his persevering,\n         even stubborn, devotion to work and study only occasionally by\n         business trips through \n          Ireland and \n          Scotland or to the Continent, or by trips\n         to the \n          Isle of Wight and other watering places in\n         search of relief from recurring attacks of rheumatic fever,\n         which plagued him all of his life. He was determined to be an\n         author of important books and in 1868, in spite of his\n         difficulties, he made a beginning.","Ingram called his first book Flora Symbolica; or, the\n         Language and Sentiment of Flowers. The book was a history of\n         the floriography, with an examination of the meaning and\n         symbolism, of more than one hundred different flowers,\n         garlands, and bouquets. He wrote long essays on each flower\n         and included with each one colored illustrations, legends,\n         anecdotes, and poetical allusions. His volume was beautifully\n         bound and printed, infinitely detailed, and it revealed\n         clearly his method as an author: he had thoroughly sifted,\n         condensed, and used, with augmentations, the writings of his\n         predecessors (a method of editing and writing he was to use\n         always, while condemning it in others) in this science of\n         sweet things.\" In his Preface, he told his readers with\n         characteristic bluntness: \"Although I dare not boast that I\n         have exhausted the subject, I may certainly affirm that\n         followers will find little left to glean in the paths I have\n         traversed.\" \"It will be found to be the most complete work on\n         the subject ever published,\" he wrote. He was probably right,\n         too. The important thing is that here, very early, he had\n         epitomized his guiding philosophy as a writer and an editor.\n         His job, as he saw it, was to learn all that had been done on\n         whatever subject he was engaged and to strive passionately to\n         produce a work of his own that would be significant for its\n         completeness.","This book on floriography was the product of a rapidly\n         maturing scholar, not that of a youth of nineteen, as his\n         later juggling of his birth date would have it appear. He was\n         actually twenty-six years old when he first demonstrated his\n         abilities as a compiler, editor, and author. Everything about\n         this volume shows that Ingram's methods in bookmaking were\n         rather firmly decided upon before he commenced his important\n         work on Poe, and he altered those methods scarcely at all, no\n         matter what his subject, in the next forty-eight years.","Having served his literary apprenticeship, \n          John Ingram was ready, by 1870, to begin\n         writing books that would, he hoped, be financially profitable\n         and at the same time bring to him lasting literary fame. He\n         had already, for a long while, studied Poe's writings, reading\n         and collecting everything he saw about the poet, and he became\n         possessed by a deep, almost instinctive belief that Poe had\n         been cruelly wronged by the Memoir that \n          Rufus W. Griswold had written and\n         published in l850. And so, \n          John Ingram found his work: he determined\n         to destroy Griswold's Memoir of Poe by proving its author a\n         liar and a forger, and, in time, to write a new biography that\n         would present to the world \n          Edgar Poe as he really was. In order to do\n         these things it would be necessary, of course, for him to\n         examine everything, both favorable and unfavorable, that had\n         been written about Poe, to search for new material, and to\n         learn so much about Poe that he could reconstruct, as it were,\n         the true character of the man and writer, as he felt it to\n         be.","At this point, Ingram's life appeared to have a certain\n         stability. He had a respectable and obviously not too\n         demanding job that assured financial independence, and he was\n         the author of a book popular enough to call for three\n         editions, which brought to him a certain amount of literary\n         recognition. But there was another side to his nature, a\n         darker side that tormented and divided his life. As he began\n         assembling materials for a defense of \n          Edgar Poe he worked spasmodically, beset\n         by worry, self-doubt, trouble, and fear. His temper was quick\n         to explode and his sensitive nature found injury and fault\n         where little or none of either was intended or existed. Some\n         explanation of this duality in his nature is found in a shamed\n         confession he made to Mrs. Whitman about the hereditary curse\n         that hung over his household: two aunts, his father, and a\n         sister, one after the other, had succumbed to insanity and had\n         either died or had to be removed from home. His own mind was\n         as clear and acute as possible, he insisted, and the family\n         curse appeared unlikely to fall upon him if his worldly\n         affairs jogged along composedly, but the knowledge of the\n         taint in his blood was a terrible thing to him. Perhaps there\n         is enough here to explain why Ingram's disposition early\n         became choleric, why he never married, and why he suffered all\n         of his life from recurring sicknesses, real or imaginary.","By 1870 there was a growing international interest in Poe's\n         genius. A new generation had grown up to be fascinated by his\n         tales and poems, and the older generations had in a measure\n         forgotten the unpleasant stories connected with Poe's life. A\n         minority group of Poe's friends in \n          America knew that Griswold's Memoir had\n         been motivated by jealousy and hatred, but no one of them had\n         the information, the literary ability, and the strength\n         necessary to publish an effectively documented denial of\n         Grisold's Memoir and to replace it with an honest biography.\n         These friends of Poe's were widely separated, largely unknown\n         to each other; all had been seriously affected by a decade of\n         war and its aftermath, and all of them were growing old. If\n         Poe's memory was to be vindicated, it was fairly certain that\n         it would have to be done by someone younger, someone who would\n         not personally have known Poe. Not a single one of Poe's close\n         friends who still lived in the l870's had any idea or plan for\n         doing the job himself, but a number of them were eager to help\n         someone else do it.","Such, in brief, was the situation when \n          John Henry Ingram of \n          Stoke Newington determined to prove to the\n         world his theory that \n          Rufus Griswold had been a liar and that \n          Edgar Poe had been shamefully\n         maligned.","The first articles Ingram published in l873 and early l874\n         had little new information in them which would vindicate Poe's\n         reputation; Ingram was of necessity feeling his way, and he\n         used these magazine publications to announce clearly his\n         purpose, before diving into the melee. He intended to refute,\n         step by step, the aspersions cast on Poe's character by\n         Griswold and to publish an edition of Poe's works which would\n         not only be more complete than any hitherto published, but\n         which, through a Memoir as its Preface, would clear Poe's name\n         and present him to the world as the great artist and fine\n         gentleman he really was.","After his first flight into the thin air of creative and\n         imaginative writing, Ingram's muse brought him closer to earth\n         and he really found himself at home in the murky atmosphere of\n         the \n          British Museum. Ingram was a natural\n         researcher. Armed with righteous indignation and the tools of\n         scholarship, he became a crusader enlisted in a holy cause;\n         the peculiar combination within him of a sensitive, poetic\n         soul and a zealot's concentrated energy uniquely fitted him\n         for the challenging job of righting the wrongs he believed had\n         been done to Poe.","Having exhausted his resources at hand, Ingram turned to \n          America in the hope of finding there\n         friends of Poe who still resented the injustice done to him\n         enough to help clear his name. The adroit timing and the\n         felicity of this plan quickly became apparent. It was not\n         difficult for Ingram to communicate his sincere feeling that\n         his work was a crusade against evil, and Poe's friends were\n         delighted with the boyish fervor of this young and already\n         distinguished English scholar who was so unselfishly\n         championing the poet's blighted reputation. Poe had been dead\n         for nearly twenty-five years and many of his friends were\n         hastening to their own graves, but they responded immediately\n         to Ingram's letters and joined in a tireless search for\n         recollections of Poe's literary and personal activities,\n         sending letters Poe had written to them, manuscripts, books,\n         and even personal keepsakes Poe had given to them. \n          Sarah Helen Whitman, excited over the\n         prospect of Ingram's writing an authoritative biography of\n         Poe, wrote out for him everything she could remember of her\n         personal meetings with Poe, sent him manuscripts, hundreds of\n         newsclippings, magazine articles, copied letters and excerpts\n         from articles, and gave unreservedly from her remarkable store\n         of information about what others had written and said about\n         Poe. \n          Annie Richmond entrusted to Ingram the\n         only copies she had ever made of her precious letters from\n         Poe, and sent him copies of Poe's books that had been found in\n         Poe's trunk after he died. \n          Marie Louise Shew Houghton sent letters\n         and copies of letters from Poe, a miniature of Poe's mother,\n         and at least three manuscript poems Poe had given her. \n          Stella Lewis gave him Poe's manuscript of\n         \"Politian,\" and willed to him the daguerreotype which Poe had\n         given to her in l848. \n          Edward V. Valentine of \n          Richmond, \n          William Hand Browne of \n          Johns Hopkins University, \n          John Neal, Poe's sister Rosalie, the \n          Poe family in \n          Baltimore, including \n          Neilson Poe and his daughter Amelia, and\n         many, many others contributed to Ingram's surprisingly large\n         store of information about Poe. And when \n          William Fearing Gill and \n          Eugene L. Didier came to many of these\n         same persons asking for help on their biographies of Poe,\n         these correspondents showed a surprising disposition to\n         withhold everything for Ingram and to betray to him the\n         activities of his American rivals. Later when violent personal\n         and literary quarrels broke out between Ingram and these\n         American biographers of Poe, Ingram's epistolary friends\n         encouraged him in private correspondence and defended him\n         vigorously in the public press. Poe's friends had become\n         Ingram's partisans. A steadily rising stream of books,\n         letters, manuscripts, pictures, and newsclippings passed from \n          America to \n          England, with a few of them, but very\n         few, finding their way back again. The aggregate of Ingram's\n         correspondence on Poe matters is staggering when one realizes\n         that he carried it on single-handedly, and published during\n         these years sixteen books on other subjects while holding an\n         everyday job at the General Post Office.","From the two bound volumes of the  Broadway Journal  that\n         Mrs. Whitman sent, Ingram was able to make a number of\n         important additions to the cannon of Poe's writings when he\n         published his edition of Poe's works. Poe had given these\n         volumes, covering his editorship of the Journal, to Mrs.\n         Whitman in l848, and had gone through them and initialed with\n         \"P\" almost everything he had written. Mrs. Whitman had first\n         offered to lend these volumes to Ingram, but then, feeling the\n         time of her death drawing near, she decided to give them to\n         him. Accordingly, on April 2, 1874, she mailed them with the\n         injunction that they be returned to her \"at the opening of the\n         seventh seal.\"","In the Preface of his l880 two-volume biography of Poe, \n          John Ingram bade farewell \"to what has\n         engrossed so much of my life and labour.\" He was convinced\n         that he had garnered almost all of the genuine Poe documents\n         there were and that his accurate and complete biography had\n         dealt conclusively with everything of importance concerning\n         Poe. His work was finished, he sincerely thought.","But Ingram was not through with Poe. He should have\n         understood himself and the reputation he had acquired as a Poe\n         scholar well enough to know that he could not be through. The\n         popularity of his edition had created a large market for Poe's\n         writings and his biography had stirred up so much controversy,\n         particularly in \n          America, that he had rather to increase\n         sharply his activities, for he was quickly challenged about\n         statements in his published works. Quick to resent\n         encroachment on what he considered his private preserves, he\n         rapidly found himself at odds with a number of persons who had\n         begun writing on Poe, for he could detect in their\n         publications borrowings from his own, borrowings made more\n         often than not without acknowledgment.","Ingram could not copyright facts, and he grew steadily more\n         embittered as he saw the fruits of his research become public\n         property. A new era of investigation into Poe's writings and\n         life was beginning in \n          America, an era brought about principally\n         by Ingram's controversial personality and by the tone of his\n         published writings about Poe. Competent scholars were entering\n         the field to contest Ingram's claims of being the leading Poe\n         authority, and these new American writers were rapidly making\n         the early efforts of W. F. Gill and Eugene Didier appear\n         puerile indeed. \n          George W. Woodberry, \n          Edmund C. Stedman, and \n          R. H. Stoddard were formidable new\n         biographers and suitors of Poe, and Ingram had not as yet, in\n         the 1880's, taken their measure. Far from being finished with\n         his work, he was really only beginning. During the next\n         thirty-five years he struck back angrily through the columns\n         of important newspapers and journals --to which his reputation\n         as a Poe scholar gave him easy access --at other writers who,\n         as he saw it, had stolen his Poe materials or who had altered\n         the Poe image he had tried so hard to create. When reviewing\n         new editions and biographies of Poe, Ingram tried to demolish\n         them with a wit as rapier-like as was Poe's; unfortunately for\n         him, his witty thrusts resembled broad-ax blows. Where Poe had\n         been original and cruel, Ingram was simply sarcastic and\n         repetitious. But through their reviews Ingram and Poe did\n         achieve the same result: they both made enduring, deadly,\n         vociferous enemies.","In 1884 Ingram edited a de luxe four-volume edition of\n         Tales and Poems of \n          Edgar Allan Poe for English publication,\n         and for the \n          Tauchnitz Press in \n          Leipzig he edited separate volumes of\n         Poe's Tales and Poems; in 1885 he published a volume on Poe's\n         \"The Raven\"; in 1886 he prepared a one-volume reprint of the\n         two-volume biography of Poe he had issued in 1880; and in 1888\n         he brought out the first variorum edition of Poe's poems. With\n         these publications Ingram was represented on the literary\n         market by one edition or another which covered every phase of\n         Poe's activities. Thus, finally, was completed the body of his\n         important work on Poe.","In still another sense \n          John Ingram's work on Poe was finished.\n         His whole method of investigation had been based on personal\n         correspondence with Poe's friends, and year by year the circle\n         had grown smaller until, in 1888, only \n          Annie Richmond was left. His early, happy\n         inspiration of searching out Poe's friends had yielded rich\n         results. Now those persons were silent, but their memories,\n         their letters, and their precious papers had been given into\n         Ingram's keeping; and he had used most of these things in\n         publishing in every area of Poe scholarship, until, at the\n         close of 1888, there was literally nothing left for him to do.\n         But his collection remained and was the envy of Poe scholars\n         everywhere.","\n          John Ingram was retired with a pension\n         from the Civil Service in 1903, after thirty-five years in the\n         General Post Office. He continued living in \n          London with his only remaining sister,\n         Laura, writing articles, caustically reviewing new books about\n         Poe and new editions of Poe's works, and in 1909 Ingram led\n         the English celebration of Poe's centenary, bringing out still\n         another edition of Poe's poems and furnishing to the London\n         Bookman practically all of the materials used in its \n          Edgar Allan Poe Centenary Number. In these\n         years of retirement Ingram began putting into final form his\n         definitive biography of Poe. He felt he could use everything\n         in his files, now that all of the people who had sent\n         materials to him were dead, to achieve the distinction he\n         wanted more than anything else --to be remembered by the world\n         as the one authentic and complete biographer of Edgar Poe. In\n         1912 Ingram moved his household from \n          London to \n          Brighton. There for a few years he\n         enjoyed the sea-bathing he loved so well, and there he died on\n         February 12, 1916. His passing went unnoticed. His last\n         sickness had evidently not been considered terminal and his\n         death must have come unexpectedly, for he left no clear-cut\n         arrangements for disposing of his affairs or for the huge\n         collection of Poe materials, the pride of his life. It is\n         strange that he had not long before made definite provision\n         for his Poe collection, for it constituted his greatest claim\n         to personal and literary fame, and \n          John Ingram was a man mindful of history's\n         judgment. Through the years, it is true, he had sold almost\n         all of his original Poe letters and some of the more important\n         items given him by Poe's friends, but he had kept accurate\n         copies of everything he had sold. Ingram had justified his\n         actions by insisting he had sacrificed his own fortune and\n         health in trying to clear Poe's name and if his work was to\n         continue the sales were necessary to provide money for it.\n         Even though these original letters and manuscripts were no\n         longer part of his collection, the things that remained were\n         very important, and \n          John Ingram knew it. Nothing else he had\n         published had brought his name before the world as had his\n         publications on Poe and the reputation he had gained as a\n         collector of Poe materials.","III","Shortly after John Ingram's death, Miss \n          Laura Ingram caused something of a stir in\n         the scholarly worlds of \n          England and \n          America by advertising for sale her\n         brother's entire library. Although \n          John Ingram had become an anachronism, his\n         out-dated biographical methods having long been superseded by\n         the careful, painstaking, scholarly practices of Professors \n          James A. Harrison and \n          Killis Campbell, the number of important\n         \"first\" Poe publications Ingram had scored was still green in\n         the memories of all concerned. Poe scholars knew that in his\n         declining years Ingram had lost his knack of ferreting out new\n         and important facts about Poe, but they also knew that shortly\n         before his death Ingram had completed a new biography of Poe.\n         While they did not expect that manuscript to be among the\n         papers offered for sale, there was every reason to believe the\n         materials from which he had written it would be. More\n         important than this, scholars everywhere wanted to see those\n         original manuscripts and letters by means of which Ingram had\n         forty years before made so many important contributions to Poe\n         biography.","Word of the proposed sale reached the \n          University of Virginia early in the summer\n         of 1916. Librarian \n          John S. Patton promptly sent an inquiry to\n         Ingram's heirs, through the American Consul in \n          London, asking what books and papers\n         about Poe were to be sold. Miss \n          Laura Ingram as promptly answered his\n         inquiry and enclosed a partial list of the Poe books, letters,\n         and papers she wished to sell, asking l50 pounds sterling for\n         the lot. Patton felt this too inclusive a basis on which to\n         buy, so he countered with a proposition that Miss Ingram send\n         the entire collection to \n          Virginia for examination and evaluation;\n         for an option to buy any or all of the collection the\n         University would pay shipping expenses and insurance from \n          England to \n          America, and back again, if need be.\n         Patton's interest was principally in the letters and portraits\n         in the collection; the University, he wrote, not altogether\n         accurately, already had most of the books on Poe that Miss\n         Ingram had listed.","Miss Ingram agreed to Patton's proposal but delayed the\n         shipment because there was a great risk of losing the\n         collection. \n          England was at war with \n          Germany and enemy submarines had begun\n         taking a heavy toll of English merchant shipping. After a few\n         months, when the immediacies of war occupied both Miss Ingram\n         and the University officials, correspondence about the Poe\n         papers was dropped.","In 1919, \n          James Southall Wilson, a young Professor\n         of English from \n          William and Mary came to join the \n          University of Virginia faculty. A seminar\n         course on Poe's works was being organized for the first time\n         at the University and Dr. Wilson was scheduled to teach it.\n         Although he was not at the time either a Poe specialist or a\n         specialist in American literature Dr. Wilson had, however,\n         long been keenly interested in Poe's writings. Shortly after\n         his arrival, \n          John Patton mentioned to him in casual\n         conversation that he had a partial list of \n          John Ingram's Poe Collection which had\n         been for sale some years before. When Dr. Wilson saw the list\n         his imagination quickly became fired with the possibilities of\n         what the whole collection might be; so he maneuvered hastily,\n         to enlist President \n          Edwin A. Alderman's support, gathered\n         accumulated Library funds, and reopened the correspondence\n         with Miss Ingram about her brother's papers.","Miss Ingram's health had been seriously affected by her\n         brother's death and by the privations of the war; once the\n         fighting was over she had begun making hurried efforts to\n         dispose of the Poe papers to any acceptable university or\n         library authorities. She had wanted them to go to the \n          University of Virginia for safekeeping,\n         since her brother had paid marked attention to Poe's alma\n         mater, but a number of years had passed without further word\n         from \n          Charlottesville. Fearfully believing her\n         own death to be at hand, she had seized an opportunity to sell\n         the papers to the \n          University of Texas.","Professor \n          Killis Campbell, an editor of Poe's poems\n         and himself a Virginian, wrote Miss Ingram, as Chairman of the\n          Department of English at the University of\n         Texas, that he would consider buying her Poe papers\n         only after the \n          University of Virginia had definitely\n         refused their purchase.","Still another possible solution to Miss Ingram's problem\n         then presented itself: a Harvard Professor, vacationing in\n         England, came to \n          Brighton to examine the Poe collection,\n         with the idea of buying it for his university.","At this point Miss Ingram received Dr. Wilson's renewed\n         request to ship the papers on approval to \n          Virginia. She did not want this\n         indefiniteness. Getting the papers packed and shipped,\n         furthermore, would be a difficult and confusing job, for the\n         Poe collection had somehow become mixed with the remnants of \n          John Ingram's once enviable collections\n         of materials about \n          Christopher Marlowe, Chatterton, \n          Oliver Madox-Brown, and \n          Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Sudden\n         interest in the Poe papers on the part of an English purchaser\n         offered her a way out. She stopped short and awaited an offer\n         from any one of the prospective buyers who would relieve her\n         of the trouble of packing and shipping the papers. A quick\n         acceptance of her terms by the English agent, the Harvard\n         professor, or by the \n          University of Texas would have changed the\n         fate of the Poe papers.","The \n          University of Virginia's correspondence\n         about the papers had not involved an agent, since it was begun\n         and ended by personal letters between \n          John Patton, Dr. Wilson, and Miss Ingram.\n         Yet, some knowledge of the prospective return of \n          John Ingram's Poe papers to \n          America reached numerous scholars,\n         authors, teachers, and booksellers, for they began sending\n         requests to the \n          University of Virginia for permission to\n         examine and use or to purchase portions of the collection. The\n         first word the University itself had that they were to receive\n         the Poe Collection came from \n          J. H. Whitty, \n          Richmond book collector and editor of\n         Poe's poems, who wrote \n          John Patton on September 23, 1921, saying\n         the papers were even then enroute from \n          England to the University. This\n         information, Whitty wrote in sly confidence, he had picked up\n         through the bookseller's \"grapevine.\"","In mid-October, 192l, the collection arrived in the \n          United States aboard the SS Northwestern\n         Miller, which docked at \n          Philadelphia. The shipment, consigned by \n          John Patton as \"settler's effects,\" was\n         passed through Customs free of duty. But Patton, who had not\n         been in \n          England for a decade, resolutely refused\n         to sign an affidavit declaring the boxes contained his\n         household goods; consequently, two weeks passed before\n         official confusion was cleared up and the shipment\n         released.","The two great packing cases actually reached the University\n         in the first week of November and were isolated in a small\n         room in the basement of the Rotunda to await examination by\n         Dr. Wilson in whatever time he could spare from his teaching\n         duties.","Dr. Wilson found his job long and tiring, but always\n         interesting, and at times very exciting. \n          John Ingram's Poe collection was bulky,\n         varied and rich.","IV","Perhaps the prize single article in the Poe Collection was\n         the original \"Stella\" daguerreotype of Poe --the one Poe had\n         given to Mrs. Lewis in l848, which she in turn willed to \n          John Ingram in l880. And among the\n         hundreds of letters from Ingram's correspondents, perhaps none\n         were more interesting to Dr. Wilson, nor to Poe students\n         later, than those from \n          Sarah Helen Whitman. This strange and\n         charming woman had cherished for twenty-five years the image\n         of herself as his one great love, after her brief engagement\n         of three months to Poe in l848, and she had written to \n          John Ingram the fullest account there is\n         of their personal relationships. Her ninety-eight letters to\n         Ingram narrowly escaped being destroyed by \n          Laura Ingram, who felt, for reasons best\n         known to herself, Mrs. Whitman's letters were unfit to be in\n         her brother's collection. Fortunately, Miss Ingram decided to\n         include the letters in the shipment and let the Virginia\n         authorities decide whether or not they should be\n         destroyed.","Ingram's letters to \n          Annie Richmond had also evoked full and\n         generous replies. She placed her whole trust in Ingram and\n         wanted him to understand, as she felt sure no mortal except\n         herself had understood, the purity and nobility of Poe's mind\n         and spirit. The copies she made of Poe's letters to herself\n         for \n          John Ingram, found in this collection,\n         are the only ones in existence; the originals have\n         disappeared.","Dr. Wilson also found in this collection many letters from \n          Marie Louise Shew Houghton, who had\n         nursed \n          Virginia Poe during her last sickness at \n          Fordham and had watched over Poe as he\n         suffered a long and violent attack after Virginia's death.\n         Mrs. Houghton had sent to Ingram either the originals or\n         copies of all the manuscripts and letters she had received\n         from Poe, in addition to a sometimes confusing but invaluable\n         account of Poe's family life.","Letters from these three ladies made up the largest group\n         that Ingram had received, but Dr. Wilson found many additional\n         letters and items of importance. There was the original\n         drawing of Poe that \n          Edouard Manet had made and presented to \n          Stephane Mallarme, who had in turn given\n         it to \n          John Ingram ; a pen drawing of \n          Marie Louise Shew, made by an unknown\n         hand; letters from \n          Rosalie Poe, begging, shortly before she\n         died, for Ingram's financial help; a penciled letter from Poe\n         himself to \n          Stella Lewis written on the back of her\n         manuscript poem \"The Prisoner of Perote\"; letters and\n         documents from \n          Edward V. Valentine, the Richmond\n         sculptor who first persuaded \n          Elmira Royster Shelton to relate for\n         Ingram her early and late memories of Poe; letters from Sir \n          Arthur Conan Doyle, \n          John Neal, \n          Elizabeth Oakes Smith, and many other\n         letters Dr. Wilson knew to be without parallel in any\n         collection of Poe papers.","Miss Ingram had not included in the shipment \"a good many\"\n         letters from Miss \n          Amelia FitzGerald Poe, since they \"threw\n         too little fresh light on her nephew's life to be of an\n         interest,\" nor had she included old copies of the Southern\n         Literary Messenger and Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, feeling\n         certain the University would already have them. \n          Amelia Poe was the daughter of \n          Neilson Poe, who had buried Edgar in \n          Baltimore in l849, and the custodian of\n         many letters from Poe, Mrs. Clemm, Mrs. Whitman, and \n          Annie Richmond ; she had corresponded with\n         Ingram over a period of twenty years and was important enough\n         to him to receive the dedication of his last biography of Poe.\n         These letters and magazines were requested from Miss Ingram\n         and in time they were received and restored to the\n         collection.","After a thorough examination of the collection, Dr. Wilson\n         decided it was worth the price asked. In l916 the price had\n         been 150 pounds; in 1922 it was 200 pounds. For the entire\n         collection, \n          John Patton offered 181 pounds, 14\n         shillings ($800), on March 24, 1922.","Miss Ingram gladly accepted the money and she wrote to the\n         officials of the University how pleased she was that what she\n         believed to be her dead brother's wish had been carried out:\n         his Poe collection was at home in \n          America, and in \n          Virginia, where she was sure he would\n         have wanted it to be. And she continued her interest in the\n         University, quite often sending cordial letters accompanied by\n         packages of books, pictures, and letters which she had come\n         across and thought belonged with her brother's Poe collection.\n         In 1933, when once again Miss Ingram thought her death was\n         near, she sent to the University, as a gift, John Ingram's\n         manuscript, \"The True Story of \n          Edgar Allan Poe. \" This manuscript had\n         been in a publisher's hands when Ingram died, but printing was\n         delayed until the war should be over. Before that time came,\n         however, the publisher had himself died, and \n          Laura Ingram had tried without success to\n         place it with other publishers. Its presence in the house made\n         her uncomfortable. Would the University accept it and deal\n         with it as they saw fit?","The whole tone of this manuscript convinces the reader that\n          John Ingram considered this last\n         biography, his farewell to Poe scholarship, to be a volume\n         that would triumphantly answer his critics, and would be the\n         foundation-stone upon which he would be able to stand forever\n         as the uncontestable arbiter of all things concerning Poe. In\n         this work he resurveyed his whole knowledge and experience and\n         fearlessly handed down his dicta on all controversial Poe\n         questions. But unfortunately his spleen overrode his scholarly\n         judgment. His virulence against other Poe biographers,\n         especially the Americans whom he accused of fraudulently using\n         his materials, succeeded in clouding Ingram's own vision and\n         writing, and succeeds in destroying for his present day reader\n         the confidence necessary in an author's balanced judgment, if\n         he is to accept, even partially, the arbitrary rulings. This\n         manuscript is not, as Ingram thought it would be, the last\n         word on Poe. It is unrelentingly bitter against Poe's\n         detractors and Ingram's personal rivals, and it seeks, even\n         more than did Ingram's other writings on Poe, to whitewash its\n         subject completely. Ingram's perspective seems to have\n         deserted him as he wrote this manuscript, and he had little\n         left except futile anger.","V","The addition of the manuscript life of Poe rounded out the\n         collection of Poe papers that once had belonged to \n          John Ingram, now in the possession of the\n          University of Virginia.","One can safely say that had it not been for \n          John Ingram's skill and energy, together\n         with the peculiarities of his temperament, we should not now\n         have many of these unusual and dependable accounts of Poe's\n         activities and personality. By studying Ingram's papers it is\n         possible to trace him through a maze of editing and publishing\n         and to watch him, step by step, slowly amass his great fund of\n         information about Poe. One can see him make mistakes and\n         achieve triumphs as he accepts, rejects, and fuses information\n         to be included in his numerous publications on Poe. Then, too,\n         it is still possible to catch fresh glimpses of Poe himself in\n         this collection, for Ingram did not publish all of the\n         memories of Poe set down in the letters he received. Some of\n         these recollections Ingram deliberately shielded from public\n         view, but they are no more apocryphal than many of the\n         recollections he chose to believe and to publish; some of the\n         records Ingram received he suppressed from delicacy alone.","A number of scholarly papers, theses, and doctoral\n         dissertations have been based on this collection of Poe\n         papers, making almost all the more important items and\n         clusters of items more readily available to other scholars.\n         The complete collection has made possible another kind of\n         study, by an examination of Ingram's biographies and editions\n         of Poe, in conjunction with the rough materials from which he\n         shaped them, it has been possible to make a just evaluation of\n         Ingram's place among Poe biographers and editors and to\n         demonstrate exactly what and how many important contributions\n         he made to the peculiarly difficult field of Poe scholarship.\n         Finally, and by no means least important, is the fact that,\n         since Ingram's work on Poe covered nearly his whole life span,\n         it has been possible for the first time to trace in the great\n         mass of his papers a thread of the biography of this\n         nineteenth-century professional editor and biographer to whom\n         the writer of every signifcant work about Poe since 1874 has\n         been directly and heavily indebted."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eJohn Henry Ingram's Poe Collection, Accession #38-135,\n            Special Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["John Henry Ingram's Poe Collection, Accession #38-135,\n            Special Collections, University of Virginia Library,\n            Charlottesville, Va."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eA calendar and index of letters and other manuscripts,\n         photographs, printed matter, and biographical source materials\n         concerning \n          Edgar Allan Poe assembled by \n          John Henry Ingram, with prefatory essay\n         by \n          John Carl Miller on Ingram as a Poe editor\n         and biographer and as a collector of Poe materials.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSecond Edition by John E.

What the University\n         acquired is an unparalleled collection of letters and other\n         manuscripts, of photographs and daguerreotypes, and of\n         newspaper clippings and various other printed materials\n         totaling altogether more than a thousand items. Although the\n         University made the Collection available to serious students\n         of Poe, the contents remained uncatalogued at the \n          Alderman Library until, in the late\n         1940's, \n          John Carl Miller, then a graduate\n         student, undertook the chore of sorting and classifying the\n         mass of material. As it happened, the chore proved to be even\n         more than a labor of love: it marked for Miller the beginning\n         of a life-long interest both in Ingram and in the materials\n         Ingram had compiled. The first fruit of Miller's interest was\n         his 1954 doctoral dissertation, \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"doublequote\" href=\"\"\u003ePoe's English Biographer,\n          John Henry Ingram : A Biographical Account\n         and a Study of His Contributions to Poe Scholarship.\u003c/title\u003e Six\n         years later the University published the first edition of\n         Professor Miller's \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eJohn Henry Ingram's Poe Collection at the University\n            of Virginia.\u003c/title\u003e This little book was a \"calendar\" or chronological\n         checklist of the Collection providing a brief description of\n         the content of each item. Professor Miller prefaced the\n         calendar with his essay on Ingram as \"Editor, Biographer, and\n         Collector of Poe Materials\" and furnished access to the\n         calendar through an index. In the mid-1960's Professor Miller\n         served as an advisor to the University's project of making the\n         entire Collection available on nine reels of microfilm. At the\n         same time, however, Professor Miller was laying his own plans\n         to make \"the more important primary source materials\" used by\n         Ingram even more available in a multi-volume annotated\n         edition. The first of these volumes, \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003eBuilding Poe Biography,\u003c/title\u003e was published by Louisiana State University Press\n         in 1977, and the second volume, \u003ctitle type=\"simple\" render=\"italic\" href=\"\"\u003ePoe's Helen Remembers,\u003c/title\u003e appeared two years later from the \n          University Press of Virginia.

Reilly","To the Memory of John Carl Miller","Introduction:","In 1922 the \n          University of Virginia paid the heirs of \n          John Henry Ingram the munificent sum of\n         $800 for the materials Ingram had assembled for his work as\n         biographer, editor, and stalwart (i.e., feisty) champion of \n          Edgar Allan Poe. What the University\n         acquired is an unparalleled collection of letters and other\n         manuscripts, of photographs and daguerreotypes, and of\n         newspaper clippings and various other printed materials\n         totaling altogether more than a thousand items. Although the\n         University made the Collection available to serious students\n         of Poe, the contents remained uncatalogued at the \n          Alderman Library until, in the late\n         1940's, \n          John Carl Miller, then a graduate\n         student, undertook the chore of sorting and classifying the\n         mass of material. As it happened, the chore proved to be even\n         more than a labor of love: it marked for Miller the beginning\n         of a life-long interest both in Ingram and in the materials\n         Ingram had compiled. The first fruit of Miller's interest was\n         his 1954 doctoral dissertation,  Poe's English Biographer,\n          John Henry Ingram : A Biographical Account\n         and a Study of His Contributions to Poe Scholarship.  Six\n         years later the University published the first edition of\n         Professor Miller's  John Henry Ingram's Poe Collection at the University\n            of Virginia.  This little book was a \"calendar\" or chronological\n         checklist of the Collection providing a brief description of\n         the content of each item. Professor Miller prefaced the\n         calendar with his essay on Ingram as \"Editor, Biographer, and\n         Collector of Poe Materials\" and furnished access to the\n         calendar through an index. In the mid-1960's Professor Miller\n         served as an advisor to the University's project of making the\n         entire Collection available on nine reels of microfilm. At the\n         same time, however, Professor Miller was laying his own plans\n         to make \"the more important primary source materials\" used by\n         Ingram even more available in a multi-volume annotated\n         edition. The first of these volumes,  Building Poe Biography,  was published by Louisiana State University Press\n         in 1977, and the second volume,  Poe's Helen Remembers,  appeared two years later from the \n          University Press of Virginia. In\n         declining health for a number of years, Professor Miller died\n         in October 1979, before any other volumes could be\n         prepared.","At the time of his death, Professor Miller was at work not\n         only on his annotated edition of materials in the Collection\n         but also on the second edition of the calendar published by\n         the \n          University of Virginia almost two decades\n         earlier. It is his work on the second edition of the calendar\n         that the present volume carries to its conclusion.","The format of the entries in the calendar is similarly\n         unchanged: two paragraphs are devoted to each item, the first\n         a bibliographical (if that word can be extended to included\n         manuscripts) description of the item and the second paragraph\n         a brief account of its content.","Count Poe, a Polish nobleman, has induced Scottish\n                  emigrants to settle a colony on his estates.","Baltimoreans understood that Poe wrote this in \n                   Mary A.

Stoddard has written\n                  Davidson since the article was published that if he\n                  had not personally seen Poe he does not know that he\n                  should believe in his existence.","In reply to his first letter, dated 20 December\n                  1873, Mrs. Whitman expresses her gratification at his\n                  efforts to write a truthful Memoir of Poe, offers her\n                  assistance, but fears he will find the facts of Poe's\n                  life so elusive, the dates so contradictory, the\n                  details so perverted by relentless enemies and\n                  injudicious friends that his task will be very\n                  difficult. Has given to \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard letters\n                  and documents which prove that Poe was not expelled\n                  from the \n                   University of Virginia and that\n                  he wrote his first \"To Helen\" in memory of the\n                  beloved mother of one of his schoolmates. In his\n                  article on Poe in Harper's Monthly for September\n                  1872, Stoddard discredits both, quotes from her \n                   Edgar Poe and His Critics without\n                  acknowledgement, and now evades direct replies to her\n                  questions. Mrs. Whitman agrees with Ingram that \"The\n                  Fire Fiend\" is a forgery. Mentions: \n                   Thomas C. Clarke, \n                   William F.

Nearly twenty-six years later, she\n                  again found the volume in the library stacks. Poe had\n                  then agreed with her that the poem would be better\n                  without its last stanza and had so prepared it for\n                  republication in the Providence Journal.

She thinks that\n                  Ingram's efforts to raise money for her must have\n                  cheered her last moments.","\n                   Maria Clemm never mentioned \n                   Rosalie Poe in any of her letters\n                  to Mrs. Whitman.

Gill is disturbed that\n                  Ingram's Memoir will take the wind out of his sails,\n                  and Mrs. Whitman believes Gill already has too much\n                  wind for his amount of ballast on board. She did not\n                  recognize \n                   Rufus Griswold when she met him\n                  briefly at \n                   Alice Cary's home in \n                   New York ; his appearance was\n                  much altered, and he turned away in confusion. Gill\n                  claims to have got from \n                   George R. Graham much fresh\n                  information that is damaging to Griswold and says\n                  that he has a magazine article prepared that is very\n                  strong against Griswold. Mrs. Whitman directs Ingram\n                  to destroy or keep anything she sends to him, unless\n                  she expressly requests its return.

He\n                  has told Morison that a single glass of wine would\n                  set Edgar's brain on fire, that he took care of Edgar\n                  in his last sickness, had him suitably buried, and\n                  ordered a tombstone that was destroyed by a railroad\n                  car that jumped the track, that Poe's brother,\n                  William Henry, was even more a genius than Edgar,\n                  that it was William Henry who went to Greece and\n                  Russia and got into trouble, not Edgar, and that\n                  Edgar and Virginia were first married in \n                   Christ's Church in \n                   Baltimore by the Reverend \n                   John Johns. Though the true\n                  story of Edgar's death has never been told, Neilson\n                  might not be willing to tell it.

She met \n                   Rufus Griswold and accused him of\n                  having scalped Poe and taken his life. Poe had a warm\n                  attachment to \n                   Eliza White and was to have\n                  married her.

She\n                  diagnosed Poe's sickness as lesion of the brain which\n                  produced insanity when stimulated; Dr. \n                   Valentine Mott confirmed this.\n                  Poe dictated to her incidents of his past, including\n                  a part of a poem to her called \"The Beloved\n                  Physician,\" which he later finished and she bought\n                  for $25. She offered to pay \n                   Rufus Griswold to change his\n                  Memoir of Poe, leaving her watch and diamond bracelet\n                  with him as security; he later said that the book\n                  would sell best as it was and that Longfellow and \n                   Maria Clemm approved of it or\n                  were reconciled to it. Later, Mrs. Clemm sold the\n                  bracelet, returned to her by Griswold, for $300\n                  (though this is difficult to believe because it was\n                  worth $500), and tried to find Mrs. Houghton in order\n                  to return the watch. Poe \"often\" said that he had\n                  never prospered by \"honest\" writing because \"when he\n                  wrote a really honest criticism of any author or\n                  work, he made himself enemies either from the\n                  publishers or the authors.\" He once predicted that\n                  Longfellow would coldly stab his reputation after his\n                  death. Poe showed anger when Mrs. Clemm called on\n                  Griswold and accepted favors from him. Mrs. Houghton\n                  bought \n                   Virginia Poe's coffin, grave\n                  clothes, and Edgar's mourning suit. After Virginia's\n                  death, she persuaded a gentleman to start a\n                  collection for Poe and Mrs. Clemm; General \n                   Winfield Scott contributed $5.\n                  She has found a copy of Poe's Tales published by \n                   Wiley and Putnam in 1845 and will\n                  send it and a copy of The Raven and Other Poems if\n                  Ingram wishes her to do so. She tells the stories of\n                  Poe's writing \"The Bells\" at her house, of \n                   Virginia Poe giving to her a\n                  portrait of Poe (since stolen) and a little jewel\n                  case that belonged to his mother, and of the\n                  miniature of Poe's mother which he possessed being\n                  saved at the hospital when he died. Poe never asked\n                  Griswold for money, but Mrs. Clemm did. Mrs. Houghton\n                  told Poe that he must find a woman strong enough and\n                  fond enough of him to manage his affairs or he faced\n                  sudden death. She saw Poe intoxicated only once,\n                  after he had dined with Griswold; he was not given to\n                  drink until madness had begun from other causes; and\n                  he was \"not a sensualist in his mature manhood.\" She\n                  has the MSS. of \"To Mrs. M.L.S.\" and the valentine to\n                  Marie Louise. Poe's old military cloak was used to\n                  cover Virginia during her last sickness, and Poe wore\n                  it to her funeral.

All of Ingram's discoveries about the\n                  order of Poe's prose articles, stories, and poems are\n                  intensely interesting to her. \n                   Eugene L. Didier thinks the long\n                  letter about Poe which Mrs. Whitman wrote to him at\n                  his request will have great weight in disproving\n                  scandals about him, if it is published exactly as she\n                  wrote it. Mrs. Whitman is sure that her treatment of\n                  the subject will interest Ingram and meet with his\n                  cordial approval. His article on Poe's early poems\n                  has been reprinted in the New York Daily Graphic\n                  sometime in June or July of 1876.","Enclosed in Item 299.

She cannot let her letters from Poe\n                  out of her keeping, but if Ingram comes to see her\n                  she will place them at his disposal. She believes the\n                  letters to be without parallel in the annals of love\n                  and shrinks from allowing the purity of them to be\n                  revealed to other eyes, but for the sake of refuting\n                  the calumnies that have been heaped on Poe through\n                  jealousy and envy, she is willing that Ingram use\n                  them.","Mrs. Richmond encloses copies of her sister \n                   Sarah Heywood's \"Recollections\n                  of Poe\" and Poe's letter of 23 November 1848, to \n                   Sarah Heywood.

Didier has ever spoken\n                  an unkind word about Ingram, and she wonders why they\n                  should be enemies.","The inclusion of Ingram's \"noble\" \"Memoir\" has\n                  rendered the Poe memorial volume an \"angel of\n                  reparation.\"","The files of the Flag of Our Union and some of\n                  Poe's MSS. were destroyed by fire in 1872 or 1873,\n                  but Mrs. Richmond knows where there is a collection\n                  of Graham's and Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, and if\n                  the numbers Ingram wants are among them they will be\n                  forwarded. The gossip connected with Poe and \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman, relayed\n                  from \n                   Providence by Mr. Richmond's\n                  family, came close to putting to an end her\n                  correspondence with Poe. Mrs. Richmond is sorry that \n                   William F. Gill ever crossed her\n                  path, and her sister, \n                   Sarah Heywood, will write Gill\n                  requesting that he not publish her recollections of\n                  Poe. \n                   Jane E. Locke was deeply in love\n                  with Poe. Since her death, Mrs. Richmond has\n                  destroyed a large package of her letters that Poe had\n                  sent to her, but she encloses one memento of Mrs.\n                  Locke. She has given Poe's MS. of \"A Dream Within a\n                  Dream\" to Mrs. Crane of East Boston, at the\n                  intercession of her pastor, Reverend \n                   Warren H. Cudworth.","Mrs. Whitman considers the review of \n                   Eugene L. Didier's \"Memoir of\n                  Poe\" in the London Athenaeum, 10 February 1877, an\n                  unprovoked assault upon herself. Ingram had said that\n                  he had lent her copy of the book to \"a friend\" who\n                  wrote the review. Mrs. Whitman considers the matter\n                  itself of little moment, but the animus of it is a\n                  rude shock to all her previous impressions of the\n                  young Englishman who had invoked her aid, had sought\n                  her confidence and criticism, and had hailed her as\n                  his \"Providence.\" She and Ingram seem to have been\n                  like ships that meet on sea, then pass to meet no\n                  more.","Valentine encloses copies of the inscriptions on\n                  the gravestones of \n                   John Allan, \n                   Frances Allan, and \n                   Ann Moore Valentine which are in\n                  the Allan section of the \n                   Shockoe Hill Cemetery in \n                   Richmond.","\n                   William F. Gill has taken her to\n                  task for helping Ingram and has asked her to request\n                  Ingram not to use \n                   Sarah Heywood's \"Recollections\n                  of Poe\" without letting him know that Gill desires\n                  that he not do so. \n                   Maria Clemm always spoke in\n                  strong terms of denunciation about the treatment\n                  Edgar received from the \n                   Allan family, but Mrs. Richmond\n                  thinks that Mrs. Clemm either did not know or would\n                  not reveal the real truths of the matter. She does\n                  not want to meet \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman but would\n                  like to meet \n                   Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton and \n                   Marie Louise Shew Houghton, and\n                  she shrinks from \n                   Sarah Anna Lewis.

Gill's scholarly\n                  ability or literary taste; she allowed Gill to have\n                  it only because she thought it might help him write a\n                  better lecture on Poe.

Eveleth questions a notice\n                  of \n                   William F. Gill's biography of\n                  Poe reporting in Scribner's that it has been well\n                  ascertained that Poe's intoxication was a thing\n                  caused by even the smallest quantity of wine and took\n                  the form of strange and highly intellectual but\n                  deranged orations on abstruse subjects. Eveleth wants\n                  to know how this has been ascertained. He points out\n                  that even \n                   Rufus Griswold did not charge Poe\n                  with habitual use of intoxicants and that \n                   N. P. Willis, \n                   George R. Graham, \n                   Frances S. Osgood, and \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman have said\n                  that they never discovered signs of strong drink in\n                  Poe. Why do the \n                   New York literati with whom Poe\n                  was personally acquainted not come forward to answer\n                  these questions about his drinking? Who has reported\n                  these \"deranged orations\"? Were they set down by Poe\n                  or by anyone for him? Are they part, or all, of his\n                  printed volumes? If so, the disorder assumed is\n                  nowhere manifest in the contents. Eveleth does not\n                  believe the stories of Poe's common drunkenness or of\n                  the crazing power of a drop of wine.","\n                   William F. Gill has shown himself\n                  to be an unscrupulous mountebank by using her sister \n                   Sarah Heywood's recollections of\n                  Poe in his volume after she had written him that she\n                  wanted to use her paper for an article of her own.\n                  Mrs. Richmond has reason to believe that at least one\n                  favorable review of Gill's biography was written for\n                  a consideration. She never liked Gill, found his\n                  personality disagreeable, but when Ingram wrote to\n                  her she felt immediately that he \"ought to know,\"\n                  that he \"must know,\" the things she knew about Poe.\n                  Poe told her that Flag of Our Union was a miserable\n                  paper but that the editors paid well. \n                   Maria Clemm had promised to leave\n                  to her all of her papers and letters. \n                   William Rouse has \n                   Edgar Poe's letter to \n                   William E. Burton of 1 June 1840\n                  [Item 18].","\n                   William F. Gill's publishing of\n                  extracts from letters of Poe to Mrs. Richmond is\n                  incomprehensible to her because Gill had only heard\n                  her read aloud portions of them some six or seven\n                  years earlier and the letters have never been out of\n                  her keeping. Bound volumes of Graham's for 1843,\n                  1846, and 1848 can be bought in \n                   Boston for $6 for all three. Is\n                  that too much? Mrs. Richmond thinks that Gill's\n                  scandalous attack on Ingram in the Boston Sunday\n                  Herald for 18 November is beneath Ingram's notice.\n                  She is sorry that \n                   Marie Louise Shew Houghton has\n                  died. \n                   Elizabeth F. Ellet was once Poe's\n                  friend, but he said that she exasperated him beyond\n                  forgiveness. Poe made remarks about Mrs. Ellet and\n                  one or two other literary ladies in a letter to Mrs.\n                  Richmond, and for that reason, she suspects, \n                   Maria Clemm wanted to get\n                  possession of it.","Although often urged to do so, \n                   Annie Richmond has never sat for\n                  a photograph. Perhaps Ingram's request may\n                  prevail.","Mrs. Richmond feels that she is in Ingram's power\n                  since she has sent to him her letters from Poe, but\n                  she trusts him implicitly and is confident that she\n                  will never have cause for regret. She met \n                   William F. Gill at the Old South\n                  Fair and shrank from him as if he had been a reptile.\n                  If she can make up her mind to sit for a photograph,\n                  Ingram shall have one.","Mrs. Richmond's MSS. of \"The Bells\" and \"A Dream\n                  Within a Dream\" have been lost by the photographer\n                  who was to make copies of them for Ingram.","If Ingram's words in some of his letters caused\n                  Mrs. Whitman pain during the past eventful year, the\n                  \"via dolorosa\" which she has \"of late\" been called to\n                  tread has \"effaced all minor sorrows, and regrets.\"\n                  She remembers only the happiness she felt in his\n                  earlier sympathy and friendship. She is now in the\n                  beautiful home of the Dailey's, surrounded by her own\n                  \"household goods,\" save those that fell under the\n                  auctioneer's hammer.","The lost MSS. of \"The Bells\" and \"A Dream Within a\n                  Dream\" have been found among the dead letters in the\n                  local post office! \"A Dream Within a Dream\" was sent\n                  to her by Poe in \"a sort of farewell letter\" that is\n                  now lost; later Poe made additions to the poem and\n                  published it in the Flag of Our Union. For Poe's\n                  sake, Mrs. Richmond has placed her correspondence and\n                  herself willingly and completely in Ingram's hands,\n                  asking only that he use the correspondence as he\n                  would wish another to use it if his wife or his\n                  sister were in her position. She feels acutely the\n                  delicacy of her relationship with Poe and knows well\n                  what nine out of ten people would make of it, given\n                  the opportunity Ingram has.","Poe's affection for Mrs. Richmond is the most\n                  precious memory her heart holds, and she has always\n                  spoken of him as an acquaintance and not as a friend\n                  because the world could not understand their\n                  friendship. She is thankful that \n                   William F. Gill did not get the\n                  MS. of \"A Dream Within a Dream\" and that Ingram will\n                  have the privilege of printing it in its original\n                  form.

The question of remuneration lies\n                  wholly with Ingram: if none, no grumbling.","Neither of Dr. \n                   John Bransby's sons survives.\n                  Hunter sends Ingram the names of Dr. Bransby's three\n                  daughters and encloses manuscript and printed copies\n                  of six of his own poems that he wishes Ingram to have\n                  inserted in some respectable English magazine.","Newspapers for 1810-1811 make no mention of \n                   David Poe appearing at the\n                  Baltimore Theatre. Judge \n                   Neilson Poe says that he has\n                  given away to autograph collectors nearly all of\n                  Poe's letters that were in his keeping. \n                   Thomas A. Edison keeps a copy of\n                  Poe's poems with him in his laboratory.","Mrs. Lewis saw much of Poe during the last year of\n                  his life and found him sensitive, gentle, and\n                  refined. The night before he left New York for\n                  Richmond in 1849, he had dinner and spent the night\n                  at her home. Having a presentiment that he would\n                  never see her again, he asked her to write his life,\n                  but she never felt equal to the task. Now Ingram has\n                  done it far better than she could have.","On his return to America, Lowell will send\n                  extracts from Poe's letters to him. Lowell visited\n                  Poe once in his \n                   New York lodgings, by\n                  appointment, and found Poe \"a little tipsy.\" The\n                  shape of Poe's head was peculiar: there was\n                  \"something snakelike about it.\" Lowell does not\n                  intend a moral judgment by this, only \"a physical\n                  suggestion.\" All impartial persons who had known Poe\n                  were of the opinion that he was untrustworthy.","The three published numbers of \n                   James Russell Lowell's Pioneer\n                  can still be picked up. If Ingram should sell or\n                  bequeath his Poe collection, it is to be hoped that\n                  it will come to some library in America. An American\n                  can better appreciate Poe's malice and fury as a\n                  critic of his contemporaries than can one at a\n                  distance. Poe gave a tone of vulgar personality to\n                  American criticism and was probably a sycophant in\n                  the direction of flattery. Higginson suggests that\n                  Ingram write to \n                   Charles J. Peterson, now owner\n                  of Peterson's Magazine.","Locker-Lampson gives Ingram permission to copy two\n                  letters now in his possession: one from Poe to \n                   Annie Richmond dated October\n                  1848, the other from Poe to \n                   John P. Kennedy dated 1836.","Peterson was associated with both \n                   Rufus Griswold and Poe on a\n                  magazine and knows and understands their characters\n                  thoroughly. Griswold was a coward unchecked by any\n                  high sense of honor; he hated and feared Poe; his\n                  biography of Poe was a malicious libel. Poe was,\n                  conventionally, a gentleman; his great fault was\n                  drinking. One or two drinks intoxicated him, and all\n                  that he did was done when thus half-demented; his\n                  mind was analytical rather than synthetical; he wrote\n                  \"The Raven\" and \"The Gold Bug\" backwards, and he\n                  spent hours discussing secret writing and inventing\n                  ciphers.","Judge \n                   Neilson Poe is kindly disposed\n                  towards the memory of Poe, but he is very slow in\n                  executing his promises. His wife and daughter feel\n                  great repugnance in having \n                   Virginia Poe's picture copied,\n                  for it was made after her death and shows\n                  unmistakable marks of that fact. Judge Poe has some\n                  poetry written by Virginia.","Browne is mailing to Ingram an engraved portrait\n                  of General \n                   Robert E. Lee and two photographs\n                  of Poe taken from negatives. These photographs are\n                  unvarnished and unmounted; they can be colored, if\n                  Ingram chooses.","Enclosed in Item 352. Poe was not his roommate at\n                  the \n                   University of Virginia. Poe\n                  roomed on the West side of the Lawn, afterwards\n                  moving to the West Range. George remembers a\n                  \"pugilistic combat,\" but \"it was a boyish freak \u0026\n                  frolic.\" Poe was fond of reading other poets and his\n                  own poetry to entertain his friends, then suddenly he\n                  would begin sketching with charcoal on the walls of\n                  his room. He was excitable, restless, at times\n                  wayward, melancholic, and morose. In other moods he\n                  would be frolicsome, full of fun, and a most\n                  attractive and agreeable companion. He was of a\n                  delicate mold and slender; his legs were not bowed,\n                  and he weighed between 130 and 140 pounds. To calm\n                  himself he too often put himself under the influence\n                  of wine.","Valentine passed an evening lately with Mrs. \n                   John Allan at her home, but of\n                  course no mention was made of Poe. Valentine encloses\n                  a copy of Dr. \n                   Miles George's letter to him of\n                  18 May 1880.","Mrs. Richmond hopes her letters from Poe will not\n                  be printed in Ingram's new volume; if they are, she\n                  will not be surprised or shocked, but there will be\n                  life-long regret. She is pleased with \n                   E. C. Stedman's remarks about\n                  \"For Annie\" in his sketch of Poe in Scribner's\n                  Monthly.","\"Day and night my thoughts incline / To the\n                  blandishments of wine.\"","The tone of Ingram's letter is more gratifying\n                  than \"the hidden and unexpected blast\" he gave\n                  Stedman in the London Athenaeum. His article is\n                  merely a chapter in a book; after that, Stedman will\n                  have done with Poe. He thinks Poe's tales are his\n                  finest and strongest work. Stedman is not on friendly\n                  terms with \n                   Richard Henry Stoddard but\n                  regards him as a man of talent and a formidable\n                  adversary.","Mrs. Shelton appreciates the copy of Ingram's\n                  two-volume biography of Poe that he sent to her; it\n                  brings both sad and pleasant memories to her. She is\n                  glad that Ingram is doing Poe the justice she\n                  believes he deserves.","Mrs. Richmond is terribly shocked to see her\n                  letters from Poe printed \"word for word\" in Ingram's\n                  new biography of Poe, for she had assumed that he\n                  would \"merely give the ideas of the writer.\" There\n                  are things in the letters which might be construed to\n                  Poe's disadvantage, and she thought the liberty\n                  granted for publication had been restricted and\n                  confined to very narrow limits by her injunction that\n                  he was to give to the public only what he would have\n                  been willing to be known had the letters been\n                  addressed to his wife or to his sister. Would he have\n                  printed \n                   Sarah Helen Whitman's letters\n                  from Poe had she been alive?","Father Tabb sends information about Poe that he\n                  has gathered from various persons who had known him\n                  well. He encloses a sonnet about Poe to be forwarded\n                  to Ingram.","This letter contains copies of nine letters from\n                  Poe to Dr. \n                   Joseph E. Snodgrass. The copies\n                  were made for Ingram by Browne \"with the exactest\n                  care.\" [They are Items 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22,\n                  24, 25.] Browne mailed this letter together with Item\n                  360.","The old vindictiveness against Poe still crops up\n                  in the Northern newspapers, partly because they hate\n                  the South and partly because some of the old\n                  mutual-admiration set still survive and have never\n                  forgiven Poe for telling them the truth about\n                  themselves. Browne encloses reminiscences of Poe\n                  which had been collected by Reverend \n                   John B. Tabb and a copy of the\n                  note sent by \n                   Joseph W. Walker to Dr. \n                   Joseph E. Snodgrass on 3 October\n                  1849, informing him that a man named Poe was at\n                  Ryan's 4th ward polls in \n                   Baltimore and in need of\n                  assistance. Browne accompanied this letter with Item\n                  359, containing copies of nine letters from Poe to\n                  Snodgrass. Item 359 enclosed.","\n                   Charles Ellis, \n                   Richmond : as a child Poe\n                  constantly led other youngsters into mischief. \n                   I. F. Allen, \n                   Richmond : Miss \n                   Jane Mackenzie, who educated \n                   Rosalie Poe and to whom Edgar\n                  submitted his juvenile poems, said the poems were\n                  worthless imitations of Byron, blended with some\n                  original nonsense; she tells the story of Poe's\n                  having pushed his way into the Allan house during \n                   John Allan's last days. Mr.\n                  Poiteaux, \n                   Richmond : Poe's two natures,\n                  tenderness and cruelty, swayed him in turn; at one\n                  time, to spite Mrs. Allan, he cut the throat of her\n                  pet fawn; he once crossed a ravine on the timbers of\n                  an old bridge, to the surprise and admiration of the\n                  boys; he recited \"Al Aaraaf\" for the girls' amusement\n                  and laughter. Dr. \n                   George W. Rawlings, \n                   Richmond : attended Poe in one of\n                  his drunken spells not long before his death; Poe\n                  told him, when his mind was quite clear, that the\n                  phantasms of mania were always delightful, that he\n                  saw nothing but visions of beauty and heard sweet\n                  music. Dr. \n                   [James?] Beale and Dr. \n                   [William P.?] Palmer, \n                   Richmond : Poe was utterly devoid\n                  of all moral sense, seemed really incapable of\n                  distinguishing between right and wrong. \n                   Lewis E.
