Accomplishments of his administration include entrance requirements raised from four to fourteen units; a Farmer's Winter Course established; and summer school expanded. ","Barringer's tenure as president was not a smooth one, hampered by several investigations. From the start, he was determined to develop the agricultural facet of VPI until it was at least equal to the engineering component, which caused some dissatisfaction among certain alumni and faculty. In 1909, the Chairman of the Alumni Association Welfare Committee, Lawrence Priddy, attempted to have the Board of Visitors oust Barringer.

Mann, who wanted the College to become involved in agriculture extension work. Barringer did not agree, so Mann said he would appoint a Board of Visitors antagonistic to Barringer if he did not resign.

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.

Edgar did not think it worth\n while during his lifetime to deny reports of his\n having travelled to \n Greece and \n Russia. After his death, Mrs.\n Clemm burned hundreds of letters written to him by\n literary ladies. Fearing poverty might induce her to\n accept \n Rufus Griswold's offer of $500\n for the letters of a certain literary lady, she\n burned them, too. Other letters she gave to Griswold\n and now is unable to recover them from Griswold's\n executors. She has spent some time in Longfellow's\n house in \n Cambridge, MA, and he has\n recently asked for and received the last two of Poe's\n autographs that she had. Encloses two of Poe's\n letters to \n Neilson Poe, one written shortly\n before his death and the other written when Neilson\n offered to take Virginia into his home for several\n years.","Recalls that eleven years ago this day she looked\n upon her dear Eddie for the last time. Ingram\n corrects to read twelve years.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Whitman has proof that \n Rufus Griswold purposely\n falsified Poe's MSS. and notes about him. Has seen a\n note Griswold wrote to a New York friend in 1850: \"I\n am getting on rapidly with my Life of Poe and am\n trying hard to do him justice, for Fanny's spirit\n looks down on me while I write.\" Griswold could not\n forgive Poe the interest he had inspired in Mrs. \n Frances Sargent Osgood. Mrs.\n Whitman has proof, too, from the \n University of Virginia that Poe\n was not expelled. He did not graduate simply because\n at that time the University conferred no degree. Poe\n had told her of his intention to write a pendant to\n his \"Domain of Arnheim,\" and after his death, when\n she first saw \"Landor's Cottage,\" she realized that\n he had introduced into it the delicate tints of the\n wallpaper he had noticed and praised in the room in\n which they had been sitting as they talked.","Both verses were allegedly delivered by Poe's\n departed spirit.","Enclosed in Item 340. There was a strange\n spiritual energy or effluence which seemed to\n surround Poe, acting on those en report with him. At\n one time she and Poe simultaneously received\n impressions of the original identity of the names\n Power ( \n Sarah Helen Whitman's maiden\n name) and Poe.","Enclosed in Item 340. Poe saw her one July\n midnight in 1845; later he sent her anonymously the\n poem beginning \"I saw thee once --once only....\" A\n partially obscured date on the torn fly-leaf of an\n old family Bible fixes Mrs. Whitman's birth date,\n very likely, as 19 January 1803.","Enclosed in Item 340. Since she cannot live much\n longer, Mrs. Whitman wishes to put into Eveleth's\n hand a statement about one of \n Rufus Griswold's myths, a\n statement only once before put into writing and to\n but one person, \n Sallie E. Robins. Had she not\n wished her book about Poe to be entirely impersonal,\n she could long ago have refuted Griswold's story of\n Poe's riotous conduct at the house of a New England\n lady having made necessary the summoning of police.\n She writes a summary of Poe's visit to \n Providence during which he had to\n be cared for by a doctor at the home of \n William J. Pabodie.","Enclosed in Item 340. Davidson is grateful Eveleth\n has said in his memoranda in the Old Guard for June\n that much of Griswold's Memoir of Poe is untrue.","Enclosed in Item 141. If Mrs. Whitman is to be the\n memorist of either of the two forthcoming editions of\n Poe's works, Eveleth will furnish for her use Poe's\n \"Rejoinder\" to \n Thomas Dunn English, a letter\n about the Poe-English quarrel, and a statement about\n the conclusion of \"Marie Roget\" that Poe made to\n him.","Enclosed in Item 340. Strangely, Mrs. Whitman has\n just seen a copy of the Round Table containing\n Eveleth's paragraph about Poe's \"Marie Roget.\" Poe\n told her the fact Eveleth states [i.e., that the\n murderer had confessed] and said that the name of the\n young naval officer was Spencer.","Enclosed in Item 143. \n Walt Whitman is grateful for Mrs.\n Whitman's remarks relayed to him by O'Connor: \"I kept\n back nothing of all you wrote, except one line, the\n one in which \n Jeannie Channing was reported as\n saying that W. W. loved me better than anyone living,\n which I guess is absurd and mistaken.\" Mentions \n Eugene Benson's article on Poe\n in the Galaxy, December 1868.","Enclosed in Item 340. \n Maria Clemm said years ago that\n Poe was in \n Europe only once, with the \n John Allan s. Poe's brother was\n the one in the \n St. Petersburg affair, an episode\n Edgar Poe attributed to himself,\n a course in keeping with his mental bent.

Davidson comments on Poe's\n Eureka. He and Mrs. Whitman think that Eveleth's\n chirography almost identical with Poe's, with less\n ego-personality. \n Richard Henry Stoddard's article\n in Harper's is very readable. 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. Gill's proposed\n lecture on Poe, \n William J. Pabodie's refutation\n in the New York Tribune of 7 June 1852, \n Rufus Griswold's charge that Poe\n committed outrages in the house of a New England lady\n on the eve of his marriage to her, and the coolness\n or estrangement which Poe said existed between\n himself and his sister Rosalie.","The Secretary of the U. S. Legation reports that a\n search of the Legation papers from 1820 to 1830\n reveals no case involving \n Edgar A.

Mentions: \n John Savage's article on Poe in\n the Democratic Review, \n Hiram Fuller, \n Richard Henry Horne's Orion, \n Robert Browning's \"Paracelsus,\"\n and \n James Clarence Mangan.","Mrs. Whitman encloses a photograph of Poe taken\n from the \"Ultima Thule\" daguerreotype. Comments on\n Poe's criticisms and critical abilities.","When \n Rufus Griswold visited Mrs.\n Whitman early in the summer of 1848, he appeared to\n be Poe's defender. Miss \n Anna Blackwell gave Mrs. Whitman\n the letter she had received from Poe. Miss \n Maria J. McIntosh had heard Poe\n say gratifying things about Mrs. Whitman. When Poe\n sent her the anonymous poem beginning \"I saw thee\n once --once only,\" she replied, also anonymously,\n with six lines from her poem \"A Night in August.\"","Mrs. Whitman thinks Ingram's article on Poe in the\n London Mirror for February is admirable, but she\n offers a few a corrections. Mrs. Botta (Anne C. Lynch ) is very much\n afraid of being socially compromised and likes to\n keep the peace with everyone. Mrs. \n Elizabeth F. Ellet still lives\n and would be implacable toward anyone who told the\n true story of her part in Poe's affairs. Poe's\n article on \n William Ellery Channing is not\n less amusing than true. Poe erred in calling him the\n son of the distinguished clergyman of the same name.\n He was his nephew.","Enclosed in Item 131. Mrs. Clemm told Davidson\n that Poe never left the \n United States after his boyhood\n trip to \n England.","Mrs. Whitman doubts the stories about Poe's having\n three wives and his mother having been a widow when\n she married \n David Poe. Poe himself told 1874\n her that he had allowed the lines to Eliza to be\n republished as addressed to \n Frances S. Osgood. [Items 88,\n 90, 130 enclosed.]","Enclosed in Item 133. Gill asks Mrs. Whitman to\n write a personal sketch of Poe which will help him in\n the defense of Poe that he is composing.","Mrs. Whitman thinks \n William F. Gill's ambition\n exceeds his ability. She compares daguerreotypes of\n Poe that were made in \n Providence, offers an account of\n how she wrote her poem \"Lines to Arcturus,\" and\n expresses her feeling that \"To Isadore\" was not\n written by Poe. [Item 132 enclosed.]","Mrs. Whitman will write for Ingram's private\n satisfaction only the story of her acquaintance and\n engagement to Poe.","If a book of her poems which she sent to Ingram\n had not been lost, Mrs. Whitman would send the two\n volumes of the Broadway Journal, which Ingram could\n keep until the breaking of \"the seventh seal.\" She\n looks forward to death as the hour of triumph. She\n discusses Poe's relations with Mrs. \n Jane (\"Helen\") Stith Stanard,\n Mrs. Whitman's family's attitudes towards Poe, and\n her engagement to marry him. She mentions \n Henry T. Tuckerman and \n Richard Henry Stoddard, sends a\n German sketch of Poe and a translation of \"The Raven\"\n which has Poe's autograph, and again expresses her\n conviction that \"To Isadore\" was not written by\n Poe.","Ingram must not use Poe's remarks about Mrs. \n Jane Stith Stanard in his letter\n to Mrs. Whitman of 1 October 1848, or publish any of\n her other letters from Poe during her lifetime. \n William F. Gill is writing a\n refutation of all the calumnies against Poe; yet he\n did not know that Mrs. \n Frances S. Osgood's\n reminiscences of Poe were to be found in \n Rufus Griswold's Memoir! She has\n written a peremptory letter to Gill asking for the\n return of her Poe biographical materials.","Mrs. Whitman discusses Poe's pencilled words in\n the Broadway Journal, the vivid and lifelike dreams\n said by him to have preceded his compositions, and\n daguerreotypes of Poe. \n John Willis said that Poe's room\n at the \n University of Virginia was\n covered with drawings. When \n William J. Pabodie died in 1870,\n he willed to her Poe's letter to him of 4 December\n 1848; she gave it to \n Thomas C. Latto who has now\n returned it to her for Ingram to have copied. Mrs.\n Whitman denies that Poe borrowed money from \n Elizabeth F. Ellet and urges\n Ingram to use caution in what he writes about the\n alleged incident. She writes of Poe's attitudes\n toward \n John Allan, the first and second\n Mrs. Allan, and his sister Rosalie. And she sends\n both volumes of the Broadway Journal to Ingram as a\n gift. Mentions: \n Marguerite St. Leon Loud, \n Maria Clemm, \n Frances S. Osgood, \n Evert A. Duyckinck, and \n Algernon Charles Swinburne's\n poetry. [Item 53 enclosed.]","Mrs. Whitman trusts Ingram's heart and intellect\n but fears his impetuosity in his work on Poe. Mrs. \n Maria Clemm had written that Poe\n was in \n Richmond only once after Virginia\n died. Tells the story of Poe's leaving out the last\n stanza of \"Ulalume\" when it was republished in the\n Providence Journal. Thinks Ingram's paper on Poe in\n the Temple Bar (June 1874) is very fine, but again\n she suggests corrections. Poe had no consumptive\n tendencies; he died unquestionably of inflammation of\n the brain. Mentions: \n Sarah Anna Lewis and \n Rosalie Poe. [Items 66 and 89\n enclosed.]","Enclosed in Item 140. Davidson thinks Ingram's\n article on Poe in the Temple Bar will be fatal to \n Rufus Griswold.","Mrs. Whitman has never seen a ghost but once saw a\n beautiful luminous hand write for her three initials,\n which she still keeps.

S.\" were addressed to \n Sarah Elmira Royster (Mrs.\n Shelton). Ingram may use for publication \n Anna Cora Mowatt Ritchie's\n letter to \n Julia Deane Freeman. Quotes from\n Maunsell B. Field's book about\n Poe's lectures on the universe and his interview with\n Putnam about publishing it. Mentions: \n Winwood Reade's article on \n Charles Swinburne in the Galaxy\n (15 March 1857), \n Marguerite St. Leon Loud, the\n American Metropolitan Magazine, discrepancies in\n dates assigned for Poe's birth. [Item 139\n enclosed.]","Mrs. Whitman cannot find old numbers of Graham's\n Magazine. Mentions \n James Parton's sketch of Poe in\n the New York Ledger. [Item 102 enclosed.]","Enclosed in Item 144. Ingram's disclosures in his\n Temple Bar article are astounding. What a reprobate \n Rufus Griswold was!","\n William J. Pabodie committed\n suicide in 1870, just after inheriting $100,000 from\n his brother. \n William F. Gill is scheduled to\n give a special series of dramatic readings in \n Boston. Mrs. Whitman tells the\n story of having read \"Ulalume\" in the Whig Review in\n December 1847 and of how one day when she and Poe\n were in the \n Athenaeum Library, she asked him\n if he knew the author. He turned, took a bound volume\n of the magazine, and wrote his name beneath the\n printed poem. 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. Mentions \n William D. O'Connor's defense of\n Walt Whitman, The Good Grey\n Poet.","After meeting \n Walt Whitman when he visited the\n Channings in \n Providence, Mrs. Whitman has\n overcome somewhat her repugnance for his writings,\n but she has torn out a third of the volume of his\n poems that he gave to her. A deadly enemy wrote the\n notice of Poe in Allibone's Dictionary. Discusses\n paintings and photographs of herself. Mentions: \n Cephas G. Thompson, \n Thomas C. Latto, and \n Nathaniel Hawthorne.","Poe autographs are very rare. Mrs. Whitman is\n unable to point out any letter in \n Rufus Griswold's Memoir of Poe\n as authentic. Though she has reason to believe many\n of them are not, it is difficult to prove. Cuts the\n Preface and Index from her autographed copy of Poe's\n The Raven and Other Poems and encloses them to\n Ingram. \n William E. Burton has been dead\n many years. Mrs. Whitman relates her visit to the Poe\n cottage in 1856. Miss \n Anna Blackwell boarded at the\n cottage for several weeks in 1847. Mentions: Poe's\n reading of \"The Raven\" at one of \n Anne Lynch's (Mrs. Botta)\n soirees, \n James T. Fields, \n Thomas C. Latto, \n Phoebe Cary and \n Alice Cary, \n Mary R. Mitford, \n Rosalie Poe, and \n Clarence Mangan.","Could Mrs. Whitman not edit a new and complete\n edition of Poe's works? Mrs. Whitman commented on the\n margin: \"Could I not discover the longitude or square\n of the circle!!!\" O'Connor expresses his faith in\n Ingram.","The mournful heritage of madness in Ingram's\n household creates a closer bond of sympathy between\n him and Mrs. Whitman, for she has long been\n subservient to the fluctuating moods of her dear\n sister, Anna, whose insanity compels her to lead a\n life of comparative seclusion, or to have all social\n relations obstructed and complicated. Mrs. Whitman\n describes \n William D. O'Connor's\n personality and official situation in \n Washington, D. C., Poe's having\n made two versions of the last line of \"Annabel Lee,\"\n the identity of M. L. S., and \"Landor's Cottage\" as a\n pendant to Poe's \"The Domain of Arnheim.\"","\n Rosalie Poe did not know she had\n a brother or brothers until a few years before\n Edgar's death and can give Ingram no information\n about him. Begs for money to relieve her\n destitution.","Mrs. Whitman worries about Ingram's mental and\n emotional disturbances over his work on Poe. \n Maria Clemm told \n Sarah Anna Lewis that Poe had\n written \"Annabel Lee\" for her, and \n Frances S. Osgood was openly\n scornful at the idea. Mrs. Whitman has no doubt her\n own \"Stanzas for Music\" called forth Poe's poem as an\n expression to her of undying love and remembrance.\n She relates in detail the painful scenes in her home\n when she parted from Poe. Mentions: \n James W. Davidson, \n William J. Pabodie, \n John Nelson Arnold, and \n Anna Blackwell.","Senator \n William Sprague's sister, Mary\n Anna (Mrs. \n Frank W.

She\n hopes that Ingram can obtain \n Sarah Anna Lewis' permission to\n use a reproduction of her daguerreotype of Poe in his\n forthcoming edition of Poe's works. Why does not Mrs.\n Lewis like \n Maria Clemm ? \"Annabel Lee\" is an\n expression of Poe's remembrance of Mrs. Whitman.\n Mentions: \n Frances S. Osgood and Poe, Poe's\n habit of writing only short letters, \n Richard Henry Stoddard, \n George W. Eveleth, Poe's\n contributions to Graham's Magazine in the\n January-July 1842 volume, and woodcuts of the \n University of Virginia in\n Harper's for May 1872.","Mrs. Whitman is glad to give the two volumes of\n the Broadway Journal to Ingram; her copies of the\n 1845 edition of Poe's poems and of Eureka are to be\n his, too. She offers to share a lock of Poe's hair\n with Ingram. The palpable forgery \"MS. Found in a\n Barn\" demonstrates the interest still evoked by Poe's\n name. Poe's friends have declined \n George W. Childs' offer to erect\n a monument over Poe's grave.","Official from the British Consulate writes that\n the Reverend \n George W. Powell of \n Baltimore is willing to answer\n questions about \n Rosalie Poe and that Powell\n believes that if he had time to do so, he could put\n his hands upon \"many\" unpublished letters of Poe.\n Laments the disgraceful condition of Poe's grave.","\n Anna Blackwell described to Mrs.\n Whitman the interior of the Poe cottage, the two\n parlor tables made by Poe and covered with green\n baize held with brass-headed nails. \n Jane E. Locke visited the Poe\n cottage in June 1848. \n Frances S. Osgood was not a true\n friend of Poe if she did endorse \n Rufus Griswold's estimate of his\n intercourse with \"men.\" Mrs. Whitman has been told\n that \n Maria Clemm professed to believe\n Rosalie was the child of the nurse who had charge of\n her in her infancy. Mrs. Clemm did not inspire Mrs.\n Whitman with confidence in her sincerity, but she did\n love Poe and Virginia, and Poe believed in her, at\n least. Mentions: \n Sarah Anna Lewis, \n Elizabeth F.

She\n encloses a clipping from a \n Boston newspaper which will\n confirm her destitution.","Ingram has been sick in \n London and Mrs. Whitman in \n Providence. This note is simply\n to keep lines of communication open.","Mrs. Whitman does not wonder that \n Sarah Anna Lewis thought Poe \"an\n angel.\" Despite his irregularities, Mrs. Whitman\n always felt that he was essentially noble, gentle,\n and good. \n George W. Eveleth writes that Poe\n said he meant \"The Mystery of Marie Roget\" to mystify\n the reader. Mrs. Whitman has written to \n John Neal. She knows \"by\n instinct\" that Poe was descended from the Le Poers.\n Her relatives thought that Mrs. Whitman's father\n strongly resembled \n George Poe of \n Georgetown. She agrees that\n Ingram was appointed for his Poe work; he is equipped\n to be Poe's champion as no other ever was or could\n be. She has only five copies of \n Edgar Poe and His Critics left.\n Mentions: Ingram's article on Poe's early poems in\n Every Saturday, \n James W. Davidson, Reverend \n George W.

A note from Mrs. Whitman on the\n back of this letter accompanies a newspaper clipping\n announcing the death of \n Samuel Masury, \n Providence daguerreotypist.","Gives Ingram permission to have her house in \n Stoke Newington photographed for\n his work. There have been many changes in it since\n her father took it.","\n William D. O'Connor thinks\n Ingram's article in the August Eclectic, from the\n Temple Bar, not savage enough on \n Rufus Griswold. Three Baltimore\n editors are roused by the renewed interest in Poe.\n Mrs. Whitman has just seen for the first time a copy\n of the 1831 edition of Poe's poems, recently\n purchased by \n Caleb Harris, who clearly\n recalls having seen an allusion to a volume of poems\n called Tamerlane and published in \n Boston. She offers a critical\n estimate of \n James Hannay's edition of Poe's\n poems (London, 1853). She reports that \n Caleb Harris's consternation\n over her having cut the pages from Poe's presentation\n copy of his 1845 edition of poems has caused her to\n promise to give him the book when Ingram returns the\n leaves. Mrs. Whitman concludes cryptically that if\n she \"had never seen Poe intoxicated, [she would]\n never have consented to marry him; had he kept his\n promise never again to taste wine, [she would] never\n have broken the engagement.\" Mentions: article by \n M. J. Lamb in Appleton's Journal,\n 18 July 1874, about Poe's house at Fordham; \n Leslie Stephen's disparaging\n remarks about Poe and praise of \n Nathaniel Hawthorne in Fraser; \n William F.

O'Connor about \n Rosalie Poe's death in \n Washington, DC. 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. She relates an account of an evening\n spent with \n Phoebe Cary and \n Alice Cary and comments upon \n Mary Clemmer Ames' book about\n them. Mentions: Poe's popularity in Germany, \n James W. Davidson, Colonel \n Gamaliel Lyman Dwight, \n Bret Harte, \n George Poe.","Mrs. Whitman's young friend, \n Rose Peckham, leaves \n Providence to study art in \n Paris and will call upon Ingram\n in \n London. \n Thomas C. Latto has received his\n autograph Poe letter returned by Ingram.","Poe was a great favorite among his classmates and\n was remarkable for the quickness with which he\n prepared all his recitations.","Mrs. Whitman believes in the stars and the great\n truths of the occult sciences. She once made an\n anagram of her name, \n Sarah Helen Poer : \"Ah Seraph\n Lenore.\" To have heard Poe read \"Ulalume\" or \"The\n Bridal Ballad\" is a never-to-be-forgotten memory. She\n is enjoying this summer beyond any in her life; she\n has unmistakable \"tokens\" of the presence of loved\n ones ever near. Mentions: illustrations in various\n editions of Poe's works, \n Rufus Griswold and \n Elizabeth F. Ellet, Griswold's\n marriage, an article on Poe in the Southern Magazine\n for August, \n William F. Gill's lecturing,\n publication of Gill's The Martyred Church, and Gill's\n fear that Mrs. Whitman will think he has plagiarized\n one of her poems from her translation of \n Ludwig Uhland's \"Lost\n Church.\"","Browne defends Poe's character, attacks \n Rufus Griswold and \n James Russell Lowell vehemently\n for their treatment of Poe, tells Ingram the story of\n drugging and cooping of voters in \n Baltimore, and offers to assist\n Ingram in Poe's defence.","Donaldson, an aeronaut, has tried and proved Poe's\n theory of \"staying\" a balloon in mid-air. Mrs.\n Whitman notes on the back of this letter that \n Washington Harrison Donaldson was\n engaged by \n P. T. Barnum to make thirty\n successive balloon ascensions to determine the wind,\n in view of an ocean balloon voyage to be\n undertaken.","Valentine describes Poe's personal appearance. He\n has a portion of a Poe MS. given to him by \n John R. Thompson. Valentine is\n now busy modeling a recumbent marble figure of\n General \n Robert E. Lee. When time\n permits, he will perhaps model a bust of Poe from a\n daguerreotype.","A woman's married name is not to be used in\n evolving anagrams that reveal the secrets of her\n destiny. Mrs. Whitman is delighted to learn from\n Ingram that his name means \"Son of the Raven.\" She\n thinks her \n Edgar Poe and His Critics will be\n better understood later as revealing one dominant\n phase of Poe's genius. \n William F. 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. Mentions: \n Rose Peckham, Ingram's advice\n about a new edition of \n Edgar Poe and His Critics, \n John M. Daniel's powerful and\n graphic delineation of Poe, \n Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset's\n Vert-Vert, \n Jane (Helen) Stith Stanard, \n Elizabeth F.

She\n will tell Ingram many things about Poe that she does\n not care to write.","Morison encloses copies of \n Maria Clemm's letters to \n Neilson Poe. \n Nathan C. Brooks still lives in \n Baltimore. Poe's father was\n disowned by his family because he married an actress.\n Neilson Poe planned in 1860 to\n write a Memoir of Edgar but never wrote anything. 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. In her letters to\n Neilson, Mrs. Clemm denies that Edgar was ever\n unfaithful to Virginia and that he attempted to\n seduce the second Mrs. Allan.","\n Maria Clemm's maternal love and\n fidelity to Poe cannot be questioned.

He never saw Poe\n stimulated by anything other than strong coffee,\n which he drank freely. \n Frances S. Osgood was an intimate\n friend of the Bartletts, and Poe often visited them\n when she was staying in their home. Poe told Mrs.\n Whitman that he was born on 19 January, but did not\n give the year.","Valentine continues his search for Poe\n biographical materials. \n Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton is\n disinclined to help, but he will try to get Dr. \n Richard C.

Mentions \n Ebenezer Burling.","Mrs. Whitman has broken off relations with \n Elizabeth Oakes Smith and\n believes Mrs. Smith relied on her imagination for the\n \"facts\" in her sketch of Poe. Mrs. Whitman remembers \n Mary Gove Nichols and her novel\n Mary Lindsey [Mary Lyndon]. She is glad to know that\n Poe's \"M.L.S.\" was \n Marie Louise Shew (Mrs.\n Houghton). Dr. \n Abraham H. Okie, who met Poe at\n Mrs. Whitman's home, thinks Ingram's portrait good\n but not so handsome as Poe was. \n John Russell Bartlett has given\n her his partner Welford's address; he might furnish\n new information. Mentions: \n Anna Blackwell, \n Anne Lynch Botta, Dr. \n Max E. Lazarus, and hotels in \n Providence where Poe stayed.","The revised edition of \n Rufus Griswold's Poets of\n America gives \n Frederick W. Thomas' death as\n 1864.","Conway's cousin, \n John M.

Perhaps she will eventually entrust to\n Ingram all of her letters from Poe.","Mrs. Whitman criticizes \n Mary Gove Nichols' reminiscences\n of Poe which Ingram has reprinted in part: there was\n no restlessness in his movements or features, a\n calmness of eye and gesture, self-control and poise,\n yes. \n Richard Henry Stoddard's new\n edition of Poe's poems are not complete, since he has\n omitted the first \"To Helen.\" \"For Annie\" was written\n after Poe had succumbed to temptation in \n Lowell, MA, and had been nursed\n by \n Annie Richmond ; the poem was\n first published in a \n Boston paper in 1849. \n Rufus Griswold's reported offer\n of $500 for a certain lady's correspondence with Poe\n can be accounted for because it often has been said\n that \n Maria Clemm left a letter from \n Frances S.

Graham is alive; Ingram\n says that he is dead. \n Caleb Fiske Harris lists four\n books published by \n Sarah Anna Lewis and signed with\n three versions of her name.","Mrs. Oakes Smith's thirty-page sketch of Poe\n amounts to an analysis of his mentality. 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. He did not \"claim\" Virginia as his wife\n for two years after they were married. She mentions \n Sarah Margaret Fuller.","Mrs. Houghton encloses Poe's letter to her uncle, \n Hiram Barney, ca. 1847. 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. She dislikes \n Sarah Anna Lewis.","Mrs. Nichols urges Ingram to do justice to \n Maria Clemm in his biography of\n Poe. Mentions \n John Neal.","Mrs. Nichols suggests corrections for Ingram's\n Memoir. Poe's sacrifice of his literary conscience in\n praising \n Sarah Anna Lewis' poems was\n justified by his gratitude for favors received from\n her. Poe asked \n Rufus Griswold to be literary\n executor. She will write her recollections of Poe for\n Ingram's use.","The Poe family in \n Baltimore is now influential. \n Neilson Poe is said to have\n important documents about Edgar. A monument is to be\n erected over Poe's grave.","Enclosed in Item 197. Hopkins tried to persuade\n Poe in 1848 to omit pantheistic elements from his\n Eureka, but Poe refused, saying, \"My whole nature\n utterly revolts at the idea that there is any Being\n in the Universe superior to myself!\" He and Dr. \n Roland S. Houghton on one\n occasion found Poe \"crazy-drunk\" and took him home to\n Fordham, leaving $5 with \n Maria Clemm for immediate\n necessities. Poe thought that the Jesuit fathers at \n Fordham College were highly\n cultivated gentlemen and scholars because they\n smoked, drank, and played cards like gentlemen and\n never said a word about religion.","\n Anna Blackwell, not Elizabeth,\n boarded with \n Maria Clemm at Fordham to rest\n from her literary labors, the cottage having been\n recommended by \n Mary Gove Nichols, who headed a\n water-cure establishment in \n New York. It was Anna, who seems\n not to have been friendly to Poe, who gave Mrs.\n Whitman Poe's letter to her of 14 June 1848. Mrs.\n Whitman is certain that Ingram printed nothing\n without her implied authority. Mentions: articles in\n the Examiner, the Saturday Review, the Spectator; \n William F. Gill's blunders with\n the Poe materials he received from Mrs. Whitman; \n Richard Henry Stoddard's\n Philobiblion article on Poe; another in Hearth and\n Home by \n A. B.

Poe never was \"engaged as a\n writer on the New York Review\"; he contributed one\n article on his own account.","\n Caleb Fiske Harris has sent\n Ingram his copy of the 1831 edition of Poe's poems. \n Edmund Gosse's criticism of\n Poe's poetry in the Examiner (27 January 1875) is\n presumptuous; he would appreciate \"Ulalume\" if he\n understood its weird symbolism. Mentions: Ingram's\n article in the International Review and the\n Athenaeum's notice of his edition of Poe's works.","\n Mary Star was loyal to Poe and \n Maria Clemm, but Poe spoke of\n her with scorn as being married to a merchant-tailor\n and content with her lot.","Because everyone knew who it was Poe had praised\n so extravagantly in \"To M. L. S--,\" Mrs. Houghton did\n not want him to publish \"The Beloved Physician.\" \n Rufus Griswold wanted it at one\n time, and if he got it he must have suppressed it out\n of enmity to her. Mrs. Houghton encloses MSS. of \"To\n Marie Louise\" and another valentine Poe sent to her\n \"a year\" later. The day before she died, \n Virginia Poe took a worn letter\n from her portfolio, written by the second Mrs. Allan,\n in which she acknowledged that she alone had been\n responsible for \n John Allan's neglect of Poe\n because she thought Poe really might be blood kin to\n Allan. Griswold must have gotten this letter along\n with Poe's other papers. She has found in a vase some\n leaves from the journal she kept while Poe was sick.\n Poe laughed at the perplexity people showed over the\n identity of the persons to whom his poems were\n written.","Mrs. Whitman does not object to her book \n Edgar Poe and His Critics being\n called her \"finest poem.\" She cautions Ingram to keep\n cool and not to provoke a fight with \n Richard Henry Stoddard. 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.

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.

Poe spent a year\n abroad and never betrayed his whereabouts to anyone.\n Only Virginia knew how he got the scar on his left\n shoulder. Mrs. Clemm used Mrs. Houghton only when she\n needed protection and money. It was \n Mary Gove Nichols who sent her to\n visit the \n Poe family. Friends wondered that\n she was not afraid of Poe. Poe's cat (\"Caterina\")\n seemed to be possessed; it would not eat when he was\n absent and was found dead when Mrs. Clemm returned to\n Fordham for her last load of\n boxes. Mrs. Houghton says that she had promised \n Virginia Poe that she would\n listen patiently to Poe's lamentation, and Mrs. Clemm\n reproved her for indulging Poe in his fancies.\n Mentions: \n Sarah Anna Lewis being old and\n ugly, \n David Poe's faithfulness to his\n wife, Poe's belief that he owed his gifts of\n intellect and heart to his mother, and his statement\n that he had burned the sweetest poem he ever wrote in\n order to conciliate Mrs. Clemm and his father's\n family.","Professor \n J.

He was not a lover in the\n common sense, for his feelings toward women were\n totally of an ideal kind. Mentions: \n Mary Gove Nichols, \n Eliza White, and \n Sarah Helen Whitman.","Mrs. Whitman is pleased that Ingram is to visit\n the \n United States in the autumn. \n Jane E. Locke has been dead for\n many years; Poe was her guest in \n Lowell in the autumn of 1848, and\n it was she who introduced him to \n Annie Richmond. \n Anne Lynch Botta is eminently\n practical, enterprising, prudent, circumspect, and\n cautious.","\n Edward V.

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. Mrs. Whitman shares \n George W.

Mrs.\n Whitman reminds Ingram that she warned him how\n difficult his task would be and repeatedly urged him\n to curb his impetuous spirit and not to believe every\n new story or to resent every suspected wrong or\n insult. Although Ingram now has decided to wipe his\n hands of all Northerners and to give up his work on\n Poe, Mrs. Whitman will not cease to care for his\n prosperity and success in any new literary enterprise\n to which he may devote his genius and talents.

She\n believes she has dealt fairly with both \n William F. Gill and Ingram.

She has related to Mallarme \"all\" that Poe\n said to her about \"Ulalume.\" Her feeling now is that\n Poe's omitting of the closing stanza of \"Ulalume\" at\n her request was a mistake because the stanza \"is\n necessary to the comprehension of the poem.\" Mrs.\n Whitman tells Ingram of Poe's reading of \"Ulalume\" to\n her in the \n Providence Athenaeum Library and\n then signing the bound volume of the American Whig\n Review, in which it had first appeared. \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. She encloses a copy of the MS. of \"The\n Bells.\"","Enclosed in Item 339. Clarke was present when Poe\n easily swam five miles in the \n James River and heard him read\n \"The Raven\" in the Concert Room of the Exchange\n Hotel.","Mrs. Whitman has much to say to Ingram, much to\n ask. She is preparing something to leave, after her\n \"dematerialization,\" to those who love her. Ingram's\n sorrow is a sorrow to her, always. \"Benedicte.\"","Mrs. Richmond gives Ingram permission to associate\n her name with Poe's, \"the dearest one I have ever\n known.\" She thinks \n Susan Archer Talley Weiss'\n reminiscences of Poe are \"very pleasant.\"","Mrs. Richmond hopes to hear soon that all the MSS.\n and magazines she has forwarded to Ingram are in his\n possession.","On what authority does Ingram write that the \n Poe family is descended from \n Le Poers ?","Miss Peckham informs Ingram that \n Sarah Helen Whitman is dead. At\n the last she talked much of Ingram and had something\n for Miss Peckham to tell him, but she did not see\n Mrs. Whitman before the end came. Mrs. Whitman had\n requested that no announcement be made of her death\n until after she was buried. Miss Peckham is sorry\n that Ingram has cause for bitterness toward American\n critics.","Dr. \n William F. Channing and \n Caleb Fiske Harris are \n Sarah Helen Whitman's literary\n executors. Ingram's correspondence with her will be\n kept with her papers about Poe and will be used in\n writing a memoir of Mrs. Whitman and Poe, one of Mrs.\n Whitman's most cherished plans. 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. Harvie, \n Amelia County, VA : as a fellow\n student at the \n University of Virginia, he once\n saw Poe, debauched and raving, lying on the grass and\n uttering terrible blasphemies. Dr. and Mrs. \n Ray Thomas, \n Richmond : when in their school\n after returning from \n England, Poe was ambitious,\n enjoyed \n Horace, was good at scanning,\n had a fight once with \n Bill Allen, and read his poems\n to a theatrical audience in the school; once, as\n Officer of the Day in the local military company, he\n put the clock two hours ahead to solve a problem\n about the military watch, showing by this that he was\n wholly unreliable.","Nothing of Poe's was put up for sale at the\n auction at the Allan house in \n Richmond which Valentine\n attended. Poe's letters went to young Allan. The\n public knows nothing about these letters, but\n Valentine thinks they were written from \n Fortress Monroe. If they are\n published, Ingram shall have copies.","The \n Poe family is mentioned.","The date of Poe's birth was in the \n Allan family Bible. Valentine has\n seen letters the \n Valentine s in \n Richmond wrote to the \n Allan s while they were in \n Europe, and he has urged the\n gentleman in charge of the late Mrs. Allan's papers\n not to burn any of the letters, papers, receipts, or\n accounts because there may be some mention of Poe in \n John Allan's business letters.\n Dr. \n Miles George and Mr. \n Thomas Bolling are still living,\n but Dr. \n Orlando Fairfax, another fellow\n student of Poe at the \n University of Virginia, is\n dead.","Hennequin sends Ingram a volume of Poe\n translations that he has edited and writes that more\n than half of the book is Ingram's.

He doubts \n Mary Gove Nichols' story about\n the straw bed and the cat and Poe's military overcoat\n warming the dying \n Virginia Poe. Eveleth tells a\n story of Poe's blood relationship to \n Sarah Helen Whitman.","Eveleth points out to Ingram that in the first\n volume of his biography Ingram alludes to Poe's\n \"gradual but slow deterioration\" but contradicts this\n statement many times throughout the two volumes.","Mullin encloses a parody of \"The Raven\" entitled\n 'The Shavin' (A Piece of Ravin a la \n Edgar A. Poe )\" which he first\n met in an old number of a Scottish magazine, the\n People's Friend. It consists of five stanzas, signed\n by \n John F. Mill.","Tridon considers Poe the greatest poet, man of\n letters, and thinker who has ever appeared on earth.\n He reproaches Ingram for accepting without refuting\n the diagnosis of \"that ignorant doctress Shew\" who\n insisted that Poe had a brain lesion. Tridon plans to\n publish a study on Poe, Baudelaire, and Rollinat.","Tridon requests \n Annie Richmond's address so that\n he might write to her. He thinks that Poe is\n misjudged in \n France as well as in \n America.","Garnett certifies that the authorship of Tamerlane\n was unknown at the \n British Museum until Ingram\n pointed it out.","Because of an overload of work, Stedman declines\n assisting Ingram in preparing a variorum edition of\n Poe's works. 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? Does he know anything of the\n Mr. Poe who got into trouble in the reign of Charles\n I?","I. L.

Woodberry has written\n to Eveleth that it is a pity Poe suffers by his\n friends as much as by his enemies and that he has\n seldom seen \"a more disingenuous book than Ingram's.\"\n In another letter Woodberry has said, \"I have no\n doubt that all the documents published by \n [Rufus] Griswold are genuine and\n ungarbled. 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.

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.\"\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIngram'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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis is the curious story of how it happened.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eInterest 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eII\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\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:\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cblockquote\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\"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!\"\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003c/blockquote\u003e\n \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eBut \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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003ePrivate 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIngram 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIngram 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.\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.

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.

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.

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.

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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eV\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eOne 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.

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.

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.

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.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003e\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.

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.

Mrs. Shelton still has a\n deep interest in Poe and the deepest respect for his\n memory. Believes him to have been misrepresented, but\n begs to be excused from communicating anything that\n would bring her before the public in any form\n whatever. Intends, when opportunity offers, to render\n some assistance to Mrs. Clemm.","Mrs. Richmond laments the cruel suffering she has\n endured as a result of sharing her secrets and\n confidences with Mrs. Clemm.","Enclosed in Item 340. Kennedy agrees with\n Latrobe's statement about the manner in which the\n Baltimore Saturday Visiter prize was awarded to Poe.\n Lost sight of Poe after he left the Southern Literary\n Messenger. Kennedy heard stories that Poe was given\n to drink and dissipation; \n Thomas W. White told him that Poe\n could not be relied upon for work; and \n William E. Burton said the\n same.","Redfield forwards to her a Bible and a prayer book\n which cost $7. Asks if Mrs. Clemm has received\n copyright pay for English, French, and German\n editions of Poe's works.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Lewis says Mrs. Clemm\n has been a member of her household for several\n months, that she knew much of Poe and that in her\n presence he was always the refined gentleman,\n scholar, and poet. Knows Griswold, too, and does not\n think he has consumption. Asks about \n John Neal's proposed critical\n survey of American literature. Denies that her name\n is Sarah Anna,although it was mistakenly printed so;\n it is Stella Anna, or Estelle Anna. Intends to place\n the remains of Poe and \n Virginia Poe in Greenwood\n Cemetery; this much done, their literary friends will\n probably erect a monument over their remains.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Lewis does not believe\n that Poe was a drunkard or that he could have been a\n vulgar man, under any circumstances, but does not\n doubt that despair did sometimes drag him to the very\n verge of insanity. Poe dined with her at 3 p.m. and\n left at 5 p.m. for \n Richmond on 29 June 1849. She\n thinks she should see both Neal and Eveleth before\n they publish anything about Poe.","Enclosed in Item 340. Miss Lynch's relations with\n Poe were superficial rather than intimate; in\n consequence of a wide difference between them over\n his treatment of another lady, saw very little of him\n the last two or three years of his life. Never saw\n him under the influence of wine.","Enclosed in Item 340. In society Poe had the\n bearing and manner of a gentleman: his conversation\n was interesting; his manner polite and engaging; he\n was elegant in his toilet; he was quiet and\n unpretentious, never abstracted or dreamy; and he\n would never have attracted attention but for his\n strikingly intellectual head and features which bore\n the unmistakable character of genius. Not intimate\n with Poe and not under the influence he exercised\n over many.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Lewis saw Poe once or\n twice a month from January of 1847 until 29 June\n 1849. She freely admits having told \n Rufus Griswold that Poe had\n wanted him to become his editor, in case of his\n death, claiming that Poe had asked her to do it, for\n he had great confidence in Griswold's editorial\n ability. Poe and Griswold had become friends prior to\n Poe's departure for the South in June of 1849.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Ellet writes that she\n has always understood that Poe, though a man of\n genius, was intemperate and subject to attacks of\n lunacy and that he was frequently in the asylum.","Davidson writes that he is deeply interested in\n efforts to vindicate Poe's character. His own defense\n of him was printed in Russell's Magazine (November\n 1857). Comments on \n John R. Thompson's conversation\n about Poe with \n Robert Browning and \n Elizabeth Barrett Browning.\n Offers a critical estimate of the truth in \n Harriet Beecher Stowe's book.\n Mrs. Whitman has written at the top of the letter a\n brief account of her own relationship to Davidson and\n of Davidson's relationship to Poe.","Enclosed in Item 138.

Biographical facts of\n Edgar's early life, description of his home life at\n Fordham, his work habits, his devotion to Virginia.\n Mrs. Clemm has heard that Edgar's grave is in the\n basement of the church in \n Baltimore, covered with rubbish\n and coal. Morison appends a note to Ingram denying\n the rumor about Poe's grave.","Enclosed in Item 184. Edgar did not think it worth\n while during his lifetime to deny reports of his\n having travelled to \n Greece and \n Russia. After his death, Mrs.\n Clemm burned hundreds of letters written to him by\n literary ladies. Fearing poverty might induce her to\n accept \n Rufus Griswold's offer of $500\n for the letters of a certain literary lady, she\n burned them, too. Other letters she gave to Griswold\n and now is unable to recover them from Griswold's\n executors. She has spent some time in Longfellow's\n house in \n Cambridge, MA, and he has\n recently asked for and received the last two of Poe's\n autographs that she had. Encloses two of Poe's\n letters to \n Neilson Poe, one written shortly\n before his death and the other written when Neilson\n offered to take Virginia into his home for several\n years.","Recalls that eleven years ago this day she looked\n upon her dear Eddie for the last time. Ingram\n corrects to read twelve years.","Enclosed in Item 340. Mrs. Whitman has proof that \n Rufus Griswold purposely\n falsified Poe's MSS. and notes about him. Has seen a\n note Griswold wrote to a New York friend in 1850: \"I\n am getting on rapidly with my Life of Poe and am\n trying hard to do him justice, for Fanny's spirit\n looks down on me while I write.\" Griswold could not\n forgive Poe the interest he had inspired in Mrs. \n Frances Sargent Osgood. Mrs.\n Whitman has proof, too, from the \n University of Virginia that Poe\n was not expelled. He did not graduate simply because\n at that time the University conferred no degree. Poe\n had told her of his intention to write a pendant to\n his \"Domain of Arnheim,\" and after his death, when\n she first saw \"Landor's Cottage,\" she realized that\n he had introduced into it the delicate tints of the\n wallpaper he had noticed and praised in the room in\n which they had been sitting as they talked.","Both verses were allegedly delivered by Poe's\n departed spirit.","Enclosed in Item 340. There was a strange\n spiritual energy or effluence which seemed to\n surround Poe, acting on those en report with him. At\n one time she and Poe simultaneously received\n impressions of the original identity of the names\n Power ( \n Sarah Helen Whitman's maiden\n name) and Poe.","Enclosed in Item 340. Poe saw her one July\n midnight in 1845; later he sent her anonymously the\n poem beginning \"I saw thee once --once only....\" A\n partially obscured date on the torn fly-leaf of an\n old family Bible fixes Mrs. Whitman's birth date,\n very likely, as 19 January 1803.","Enclosed in Item 340. Since she cannot live much\n longer, Mrs. Whitman wishes to put into Eveleth's\n hand a statement about one of \n Rufus Griswold's myths, a\n statement only once before put into writing and to\n but one person, \n Sallie E. Robins. Had she not\n wished her book about Poe to be entirely impersonal,\n she could long ago have refuted Griswold's story of\n Poe's riotous conduct at the house of a New England\n lady having made necessary the summoning of police.\n She writes a summary of Poe's visit to \n Providence during which he had to\n be cared for by a doctor at the home of \n William J. Pabodie.","Enclosed in Item 340. Davidson is grateful Eveleth\n has said in his memoranda in the Old Guard for June\n that much of Griswold's Memoir of Poe is untrue.","Enclosed in Item 141. If Mrs. Whitman is to be the\n memorist of either of the two forthcoming editions of\n Poe's works, Eveleth will furnish for her use Poe's\n \"Rejoinder\" to \n Thomas Dunn English, a letter\n about the Poe-English quarrel, and a statement about\n the conclusion of \"Marie Roget\" that Poe made to\n him.","Enclosed in Item 340. Strangely, Mrs. Whitman has\n just seen a copy of the Round Table containing\n Eveleth's paragraph about Poe's \"Marie Roget.\" Poe\n told her the fact Eveleth states [i.e., that the\n murderer had confessed] and said that the name of the\n young naval officer was Spencer.","Enclosed in Item 143. \n Walt Whitman is grateful for Mrs.\n Whitman's remarks relayed to him by O'Connor: \"I kept\n back nothing of all you wrote, except one line, the\n one in which \n Jeannie Channing was reported as\n saying that W. W. loved me better than anyone living,\n which I guess is absurd and mistaken.\" Mentions \n Eugene Benson's article on Poe\n in the Galaxy, December 1868.","Enclosed in Item 340. \n Maria Clemm said years ago that\n Poe was in \n Europe only once, with the \n John Allan s. Poe's brother was\n the one in the \n St. Petersburg affair, an episode\n Edgar Poe attributed to himself,\n a course in keeping with his mental bent.

Mentions \n Walt Whitman's \n American Institute poem, his\n \"Carol of Harvest,\" and \"The Mystic Trumpeter,\" and\n he adds that there is an article in Harper's on Poe's\n lack of earnestness. Mrs. Whitman adds a note:\n \"Article in Harper's Easy Chair praising \n Ellery Channing for his\n earnestness \u0026 saying that if Poe, who laughed at\n him was slipping out of sight it was for want of this\n very earnestness.\"","Enclosed in Item 340. Davidson comments on Poe's\n Eureka. He and Mrs. Whitman think that Eveleth's\n chirography almost identical with Poe's, with less\n ego-personality. \n Richard Henry Stoddard's article\n in Harper's is very readable. 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. Gill's proposed\n lecture on Poe, \n William J. Pabodie's refutation\n in the New York Tribune of 7 June 1852, \n Rufus Griswold's charge that Poe\n committed outrages in the house of a New England lady\n on the eve of his marriage to her, and the coolness\n or estrangement which Poe said existed between\n himself and his sister Rosalie.","The Secretary of the U. S. Legation reports that a\n search of the Legation papers from 1820 to 1830\n reveals no case involving \n Edgar A.

Gill cannot find \n William Gowans' printed\n recollections of Poe. Mrs. Whitman lent him also a\n letter from \n Rufus Griswold to herself,\n written in the autumn of 1849, which was full of\n virulence and bitterness against Mrs. Clemm who had\n told Griswold that all of Mrs. Whitman's letters had\n been returned to her. \n Francis Wharton and \n Moreton Stille, in A Treatise on\n Medical Jurisprudence (1855), cite Poe's \"Murders in\n the Rue Morgue\" and \"The Mystery of Marie Roget\" as\n remarkable illustrations of the value of inductive\n reasoning and regret the author's early death and the\n causes which diverted his genius from the serious\n branches of study.","Mrs. Whitman trusts Ingram \"implicitly.\" She never\n spoke with Poe about his expedition to \n Greece.

Clarke came to see her\n in \n New York City in 1859, he and\n Graham rode together on the omnibus; Graham was much\n pleased over Mrs. Whitman's defense of Poe.","Mrs. Whitman encloses copies of excerpts from \n Eugene Benson's article, \"Poe\n and Hawthorne,\" from the Galaxy, December 1868. She\n hopes that Ingram can obtain \n Sarah Anna Lewis' permission to\n use a reproduction of her daguerreotype of Poe in his\n forthcoming edition of Poe's works. Why does not Mrs.\n Lewis like \n Maria Clemm ? \"Annabel Lee\" is an\n expression of Poe's remembrance of Mrs. Whitman.\n Mentions: \n Frances S. Osgood and Poe, Poe's\n habit of writing only short letters, \n Richard Henry Stoddard, \n George W. Eveleth, Poe's\n contributions to Graham's Magazine in the\n January-July 1842 volume, and woodcuts of the \n University of Virginia in\n Harper's for May 1872.","Mrs. Whitman is glad to give the two volumes of\n the Broadway Journal to Ingram; her copies of the\n 1845 edition of Poe's poems and of Eureka are to be\n his, too. She offers to share a lock of Poe's hair\n with Ingram. The palpable forgery \"MS. Found in a\n Barn\" demonstrates the interest still evoked by Poe's\n name. Poe's friends have declined \n George W. Childs' offer to erect\n a monument over Poe's grave.","Official from the British Consulate writes that\n the Reverend \n George W. Powell of \n Baltimore is willing to answer\n questions about \n Rosalie Poe and that Powell\n believes that if he had time to do so, he could put\n his hands upon \"many\" unpublished letters of Poe.\n Laments the disgraceful condition of Poe's grave.","\n Anna Blackwell described to Mrs.\n Whitman the interior of the Poe cottage, the two\n parlor tables made by Poe and covered with green\n baize held with brass-headed nails. \n Jane E. Locke visited the Poe\n cottage in June 1848. \n Frances S. Osgood was not a true\n friend of Poe if she did endorse \n Rufus Griswold's estimate of his\n intercourse with \"men.\" Mrs. Whitman has been told\n that \n Maria Clemm professed to believe\n Rosalie was the child of the nurse who had charge of\n her in her infancy. Mrs. Clemm did not inspire Mrs.\n Whitman with confidence in her sincerity, but she did\n love Poe and Virginia, and Poe believed in her, at\n least. Mentions: \n Sarah Anna Lewis, \n Elizabeth F. Ellet, Ingram's\n sickness and her own, \n George W. Eveleth and the\n \"continuation\" of \"The Mystery of Marie Roget,\" \n George W. Powell, and \n Rosalie Poe.","\n Neilson Poe is a lawyer and any\n information he might give about Edgar will be\n authentic. \n John P.

She\n encloses a clipping from a \n Boston newspaper which will\n confirm her destitution.","Ingram has been sick in \n London and Mrs. Whitman in \n Providence. This note is simply\n to keep lines of communication open.","Mrs. Whitman does not wonder that \n Sarah Anna Lewis thought Poe \"an\n angel.\" Despite his irregularities, Mrs. Whitman\n always felt that he was essentially noble, gentle,\n and good. \n George W. Eveleth writes that Poe\n said he meant \"The Mystery of Marie Roget\" to mystify\n the reader. Mrs. Whitman has written to \n John Neal. She knows \"by\n instinct\" that Poe was descended from the Le Poers.\n Her relatives thought that Mrs. Whitman's father\n strongly resembled \n George Poe of \n Georgetown. She agrees that\n Ingram was appointed for his Poe work; he is equipped\n to be Poe's champion as no other ever was or could\n be. She has only five copies of \n Edgar Poe and His Critics left.\n Mentions: Ingram's article on Poe's early poems in\n Every Saturday, \n James W. Davidson, Reverend \n George W. Powell.","Neal cannot remember when or where his defense of\n Poe was published. A note from Mrs. Whitman on the\n back of this letter accompanies a newspaper clipping\n announcing the death of \n Samuel Masury, \n Providence daguerreotypist.","Gives Ingram permission to have her house in \n Stoke Newington photographed for\n his work. There have been many changes in it since\n her father took it.","\n William D. O'Connor thinks\n Ingram's article in the August Eclectic, from the\n Temple Bar, not savage enough on \n Rufus Griswold. Three Baltimore\n editors are roused by the renewed interest in Poe.\n Mrs. Whitman has just seen for the first time a copy\n of the 1831 edition of Poe's poems, recently\n purchased by \n Caleb Harris, who clearly\n recalls having seen an allusion to a volume of poems\n called Tamerlane and published in \n Boston. She offers a critical\n estimate of \n James Hannay's edition of Poe's\n poems (London, 1853). She reports that \n Caleb Harris's consternation\n over her having cut the pages from Poe's presentation\n copy of his 1845 edition of poems has caused her to\n promise to give him the book when Ingram returns the\n leaves. Mrs. Whitman concludes cryptically that if\n she \"had never seen Poe intoxicated, [she would]\n never have consented to marry him; had he kept his\n promise never again to taste wine, [she would] never\n have broken the engagement.\" Mentions: article by \n M.

O'Connor about \n Rosalie Poe's death in \n Washington, DC. 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. She relates an account of an evening\n spent with \n Phoebe Cary and \n Alice Cary and comments upon \n Mary Clemmer Ames' book about\n them. Mentions: Poe's popularity in Germany, \n James W. Davidson, Colonel \n Gamaliel Lyman Dwight, \n Bret Harte, \n George Poe.","Mrs. Whitman's young friend, \n Rose Peckham, leaves \n Providence to study art in \n Paris and will call upon Ingram\n in \n London. \n Thomas C. Latto has received his\n autograph Poe letter returned by Ingram.","Poe was a great favorite among his classmates and\n was remarkable for the quickness with which he\n prepared all his recitations.","Mrs. Whitman believes in the stars and the great\n truths of the occult sciences. She once made an\n anagram of her name, \n Sarah Helen Poer : \"Ah Seraph\n Lenore.\" To have heard Poe read \"Ulalume\" or \"The\n Bridal Ballad\" is a never-to-be-forgotten memory. She\n is enjoying this summer beyond any in her life; she\n has unmistakable \"tokens\" of the presence of loved\n ones ever near. Mentions: illustrations in various\n editions of Poe's works, \n Rufus Griswold and \n Elizabeth F. Ellet, Griswold's\n marriage, an article on Poe in the Southern Magazine\n for August, \n William F. Gill's lecturing,\n publication of Gill's The Martyred Church, and Gill's\n fear that Mrs. Whitman will think he has plagiarized\n one of her poems from her translation of \n Ludwig Uhland's \"Lost\n Church.\"","Browne defends Poe's character, attacks \n Rufus Griswold and \n James Russell Lowell vehemently\n for their treatment of Poe, tells Ingram the story of\n drugging and cooping of voters in \n Baltimore, and offers to assist\n Ingram in Poe's defence.","Donaldson, an aeronaut, has tried and proved Poe's\n theory of \"staying\" a balloon in mid-air. Mrs.\n Whitman notes on the back of this letter that \n Washington Harrison Donaldson was\n engaged by \n P. T. Barnum to make thirty\n successive balloon ascensions to determine the wind,\n in view of an ocean balloon voyage to be\n undertaken.","Valentine describes Poe's personal appearance. He\n has a portion of a Poe MS. given to him by \n John R. Thompson. Valentine is\n now busy modeling a recumbent marble figure of\n General \n Robert E. Lee. When time\n permits, he will perhaps model a bust of Poe from a\n daguerreotype.","A woman's married name is not to be used in\n evolving anagrams that reveal the secrets of her\n destiny. Mrs. Whitman is delighted to learn from\n Ingram that his name means \"Son of the Raven.\" She\n thinks her \n Edgar Poe and His Critics will be\n better understood later as revealing one dominant\n phase of Poe's genius. \n William F. 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. Mentions: \n Rose Peckham, Ingram's advice\n about a new edition of \n Edgar Poe and His Critics, \n John M. Daniel's powerful and\n graphic delineation of Poe, \n Jean-Baptiste-Louis Gresset's\n Vert-Vert, \n Jane (Helen) Stith Stanard, \n Elizabeth F.

Mrs. Whitman comments upon\n reproductions of photographs of Poe in Harper's taken\n from engravings.","Didier knows almost certainly where Poe was in\n 1831, 1832, and 1833. He has information about Poe's\n brother, about Poe's family in \n Baltimore, and about Poe in \n Richmond and at the \n University of Virginia. He knows\n the exact date and place of Poe's birth and has in\n his possession a copy of a MS. poem by Poe never\n printed. Didier offers to sell all this to Ingram for\n $100.","\n Caleb Harris will send his copy\n of the 1831 edition of Poe's poems for Ingram's use.\n Mrs. Whitman will inquire about \n Edward Coote Pinckney's\n poems.","Neal recalls his associations with Poe, including\n a copy of Poe's letter to him of 4 June 1840. Text in\n Letters 1: 137.","Donohoe has given Ingram's letter to Reverend \n George W.

Colonel \n Gamaliel Lyman Dwight reports\n from \n Germany that students there pour\n over Poe's works. \n George Ripley noticed Mrs.\n Whitman's poems in the Tribune, 14 November 1853.","Key has no recollection of Poe's having attended\n his class in mathematics at the \n University of Virginia.\n Professor \n George Blaettermann is dead.\n Professor \n George Long is alive and\n hearty.","Mrs. Whitman has received the first volume of\n Ingram's edition of Poe's works and thinks the Memoir\n cannot fail to refute \n Rufus Griswold's fabrications. \n John Nelson Arnold, the artist,\n admires the reproduction of Poe's portrait. Senator \n Henry Bowen Anthony, who knew\n Poe, thinks the portrait fine.","Mrs. Whitman suggests a few changes and offers\n gentle criticisms of Ingram's Memoir of Poe. She\n gives a character sketch of \n William J. Pabodie.","Mrs. Nichols identifies \"M.L.S.\" as the former \n Marie Louise Shew, now the wife\n of Dr. \n Ronald S. Houghton. \n William E. Burton and \n George R. Graham are dead. She\n will tell Ingram many things about Poe that she does\n not care to write.","Morison encloses copies of \n Maria Clemm's letters to \n Neilson Poe. \n Nathan C. Brooks still lives in \n Baltimore. Poe's father was\n disowned by his family because he married an actress.\n Neilson Poe planned in 1860 to\n write a Memoir of Edgar but never wrote anything. 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. In her letters to\n Neilson, Mrs. Clemm denies that Edgar was ever\n unfaithful to Virginia and that he attempted to\n seduce the second Mrs. Allan.","\n Maria Clemm's maternal love and\n fidelity to Poe cannot be questioned. Letter\n mentions: \n Marie Louise Shew (Mrs.\n Houghton), \n Sarah J. Hale, \n Anne Lynch Botta, \n William E. Burton, and \n John Brougham.","Mrs. Whitman offers criticisms of Ingram's Memoir\n by both \n Caleb Fiske Harris and herself.\n Hon. \n John Russell Bartlett, when a\n partner in the publishing firm of \n Bartlett and Welford, lived on\n the same street as Poe in \n New York. He never saw Poe\n stimulated by anything other than strong coffee,\n which he drank freely. \n Frances S. Osgood was an intimate\n friend of the Bartletts, and Poe often visited them\n when she was staying in their home. Poe told Mrs.\n Whitman that he was born on 19 January, but did not\n give the year.","Valentine continues his search for Poe\n biographical materials. \n Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton is\n disinclined to help, but he will try to get Dr. \n Richard C. Ambler and \n Thomas Bolling to write out their\n recollections of Poe. Valentine has a life-size\n crayon drawing of Poe's head made from a\n daguerreotype. Mentions \n Ebenezer Burling.","Mrs. Whitman has broken off relations with \n Elizabeth Oakes Smith and\n believes Mrs. Smith relied on her imagination for the\n \"facts\" in her sketch of Poe. Mrs. Whitman remembers \n Mary Gove Nichols and her novel\n Mary Lindsey [Mary Lyndon]. She is glad to know that\n Poe's \"M.L.S.\" was \n Marie Louise Shew (Mrs.\n Houghton). Dr. \n Abraham H. Okie, who met Poe at\n Mrs. Whitman's home, thinks Ingram's portrait good\n but not so handsome as Poe was. \n John Russell Bartlett has given\n her his partner Welford's address; he might furnish\n new information. Mentions: \n Anna Blackwell, \n Anne Lynch Botta, Dr. \n Max E. Lazarus, and hotels in \n Providence where Poe stayed.","The revised edition of \n Rufus Griswold's Poets of\n America gives \n Frederick W. Thomas' death as\n 1864.","Conway's cousin, \n John M. Daniel, had an article\n in the Southern Literary Messenger on Poe's death.\n Poe was generally looked upon as \"a hard case,\" for\n he borrowed sums of money that he knew he could not\n repay; in such matters he had no principle.","\n Caleb Fiske Harris found in \n New York a copy of the 1829\n edition of Poe's poems and hired a copyist to make a\n list of the contents which Mrs. Whitman copies and\n encloses to Ingram. \n Samuel Kettell's Specimens of\n American Poetry proves there was an 1827 edition\n also. \n Richard Henry Stoddard's Revised\n Memoir of Poe contains an account of Poe's having\n bought and charged to \n John Allan seventeen broadcloth\n coats. \n Maria Clemm's assertions in\n reference to Longfellow should be taken cum grano.\n Mrs. Whitman wishes Ingram's Memoir of Poe had been\n less personal. Perhaps she will eventually entrust to\n Ingram all of her letters from Poe.","Mrs. Whitman criticizes \n Mary Gove Nichols' reminiscences\n of Poe which Ingram has reprinted in part: there was\n no restlessness in his movements or features, a\n calmness of eye and gesture, self-control and poise,\n yes. \n Richard Henry Stoddard's new\n edition of Poe's poems are not complete, since he has\n omitted the first \"To Helen.\" \"For Annie\" was written\n after Poe had succumbed to temptation in \n Lowell, MA, and had been nursed\n by \n Annie Richmond ; the poem was\n first published in a \n Boston paper in 1849. \n Rufus Griswold's reported offer\n of $500 for a certain lady's correspondence with Poe\n can be accounted for because it often has been said\n that \n Maria Clemm left a letter from \n Frances S. Osgood where it could\n be seen by a visitor. Mrs. Whitman encloses a parody\n of \"The Bells\" which she assumes to be \"a fling\" at\n Stoddard's \"Grecian Flute.\"","Miss Houghton's mother is willing to help Ingram\n by pointing out false statements in \n Rufus Griswold's Memoir. \n Maria Clemm lived in their\n household until the publication of Poe's works by\n Griswold gave her support. She encloses as a gift\n Poe's letter to \n Marie Louise Shew (Mrs.\n Houghton), dated 29 January 1847 [Item 32].","Mrs. Whitman points out errors in \n Maria Clemm's letters to \n Neilson Poe. Poe's Tamerlane is\n listed in \n Samuel Kettell's Specimens of\n American Poetry; there is an article on The\n Conchologist's First Book in the Home Journal. \n William F. Gill says that \n George R. Graham is alive; Ingram\n says that he is dead. \n Caleb Fiske Harris lists four\n books published by \n Sarah Anna Lewis and signed with\n three versions of her name.","Mrs. Oakes Smith's thirty-page sketch of Poe\n amounts to an analysis of his mentality. 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. He did not \"claim\" Virginia as his wife\n for two years after they were married. She mentions \n Sarah Margaret Fuller.","Mrs. Houghton encloses Poe's letter to her uncle, \n Hiram Barney, ca. 1847. 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. She dislikes \n Sarah Anna Lewis.","Mrs. Nichols urges Ingram to do justice to \n Maria Clemm in his biography of\n Poe. Mentions \n John Neal.","Mrs. Nichols suggests corrections for Ingram's\n Memoir. Poe's sacrifice of his literary conscience in\n praising \n Sarah Anna Lewis' poems was\n justified by his gratitude for favors received from\n her. Poe asked \n Rufus Griswold to be literary\n executor. She will write her recollections of Poe for\n Ingram's use.","The Poe family in \n Baltimore is now influential. \n Neilson Poe is said to have\n important documents about Edgar. A monument is to be\n erected over Poe's grave.","Enclosed in Item 197. Hopkins tried to persuade\n Poe in 1848 to omit pantheistic elements from his\n Eureka, but Poe refused, saying, \"My whole nature\n utterly revolts at the idea that there is any Being\n in the Universe superior to myself!\" He and Dr. \n Roland S. Houghton on one\n occasion found Poe \"crazy-drunk\" and took him home to\n Fordham, leaving $5 with \n Maria Clemm for immediate\n necessities. Poe thought that the Jesuit fathers at \n Fordham College were highly\n cultivated gentlemen and scholars because they\n smoked, drank, and played cards like gentlemen and\n never said a word about religion.","\n Anna Blackwell, not Elizabeth,\n boarded with \n Maria Clemm at Fordham to rest\n from her literary labors, the cottage having been\n recommended by \n Mary Gove Nichols, who headed a\n water-cure establishment in \n New York. It was Anna, who seems\n not to have been friendly to Poe, who gave Mrs.\n Whitman Poe's letter to her of 14 June 1848. Mrs.\n Whitman is certain that Ingram printed nothing\n without her implied authority. Mentions: articles in\n the Examiner, the Saturday Review, the Spectator; \n William F. Gill's blunders with\n the Poe materials he received from Mrs. Whitman; \n Richard Henry Stoddard's\n Philobiblion article on Poe; another in Hearth and\n Home by \n A. B. Harris.","Poe was chameleon-like, taking on his coloring\n from those about him. Mrs. Oakes Smith encloses her\n thirty-page sketch of Poe.","A friend has dissuaded \n Caleb Fiske Harris from paying\n $50 for the 1829 edition of Poe's poems. Harris will\n send his copy of the 1831 edition to Ingram within a\n fortnight.","\n Marie Louise Barney married first\n Dr. \n Joel Shew, then Dr. \n Roland Houghton. Poe went\n intoxicated to \n Sarah Helen Whitman's home,\n followed by a crowd of boys, which caused his\n engagement to her to be broken. Mrs. Whitman took\n money from her mother to pay his way out of town.","Enclosed in Item 226. Hopkins remembers \n Thomas Dunn English as a\n scoundrel. He has written Dr. \n Caleb Sprague Henry, editor of\n the New York Review, to inquire about Poe's\n connection with that publication.","Enclosed in Item 226. Poe never was \"engaged as a\n writer on the New York Review\"; he contributed one\n article on his own account.","\n Caleb Fiske Harris has sent\n Ingram his copy of the 1831 edition of Poe's poems. \n Edmund Gosse's criticism of\n Poe's poetry in the Examiner (27 January 1875) is\n presumptuous; he would appreciate \"Ulalume\" if he\n understood its weird symbolism. Mentions: Ingram's\n article in the International Review and the\n Athenaeum's notice of his edition of Poe's works.","\n Mary Star was loyal to Poe and \n Maria Clemm, but Poe spoke of\n her with scorn as being married to a merchant-tailor\n and content with her lot.","Because everyone knew who it was Poe had praised\n so extravagantly in \"To M. L. S--,\" Mrs. Houghton did\n not want him to publish \"The Beloved Physician.\" \n Rufus Griswold wanted it at one\n time, and if he got it he must have suppressed it out\n of enmity to her. Mrs. Houghton encloses MSS. of \"To\n Marie Louise\" and another valentine Poe sent to her\n \"a year\" later. The day before she died, \n Virginia Poe took a worn letter\n from her portfolio, written by the second Mrs. Allan,\n in which she acknowledged that she alone had been\n responsible for \n John Allan's neglect of Poe\n because she thought Poe really might be blood kin to\n Allan. Griswold must have gotten this letter along\n with Poe's other papers. She has found in a vase some\n leaves from the journal she kept while Poe was sick.\n Poe laughed at the perplexity people showed over the\n identity of the persons to whom his poems were\n written.","Mrs. Whitman does not object to her book \n Edgar Poe and His Critics being\n called her \"finest poem.\" She cautions Ingram to keep\n cool and not to provoke a fight with \n Richard Henry Stoddard. 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.

Hunter, \n Henry Tutwiler, and \n Gessner Harrison.","Mrs. Houghton has sent copies of his works that\n Poe gave her. The miniature of his mother was left in\n his satchel on the \n Baltimore train. 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.

Published by Mr. Baltimore, 1830.\" He\n thinks it might have been written by Poe, since it is\n much in his style. Browne has located for Ingram\n copies of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine for January\n to July 1840.","Both Mrs. Whitman and Ingram have been mistaken\n about the identity of the magazine in which Poe's\n second \"To Helen\" made its first appearance, and she\n makes an effort to establish renewed faith and trust\n between herself and Ingram. \n William J.

Mentions: Ingram's article,\n \"The Unknown Poetry of \n Edgar Poe \" in the Belgravia\n magazine for June 1876; his continued ill health and\n troubles, and the alarming increase in her sister's\n insanity.","Mrs. Whitman thinks that Poe's note on cowardice\n in \"Marginalia\" which Ingram wants to suppress is\n absurd but hardly \"hateful.\" It was, she believes,\n intended as a play on words. \"In all matters not\n affecting important truths,\" however, she is heartily\n in favor of suppressing whatever seems to an editor\n irrelevant or likely to injure the reputation of his\n subject. \n Caleb Fiske Harris is surprised\n that Poe's first \"To Helen\" was not included in\n Tamerlane. 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.

Gill the MS. of a\n sketch of Poe. 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.

She has related to Mallarme \"all\" that Poe\n said to her about \"Ulalume.\" Her feeling now is that\n Poe's omitting of the closing stanza of \"Ulalume\" at\n her request was a mistake because the stanza \"is\n necessary to the comprehension of the poem.\" Mrs.\n Whitman tells Ingram of Poe's reading of \"Ulalume\" to\n her in the \n Providence Athenaeum Library and\n then signing the bound volume of the American Whig\n Review, in which it had first appeared. \n William F.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Harvie, \n Amelia County, VA : as a fellow\n student at the \n University of Virginia, he once\n saw Poe, debauched and raving, lying on the grass and\n uttering terrible blasphemies. Dr. and Mrs. \n Ray Thomas, \n Richmond : when in their school\n after returning from \n England, Poe was ambitious,\n enjoyed \n Horace, was good at scanning,\n had a fight once with \n Bill Allen, and read his poems\n to a theatrical audience in the school; once, as\n Officer of the Day in the local military company, he\n put the clock two hours ahead to solve a problem\n about the military watch, showing by this that he was\n wholly unreliable.","Nothing of Poe's was put up for sale at the\n auction at the Allan house in \n Richmond which Valentine\n attended. Poe's letters went to young Allan. The\n public knows nothing about these letters, but\n Valentine thinks they were written from \n Fortress Monroe. If they are\n published, Ingram shall have copies.","The \n Poe family is mentioned.","The date of Poe's birth was in the \n Allan family Bible. Valentine has\n seen letters the \n Valentine s in \n Richmond wrote to the \n Allan s while they were in \n Europe, and he has urged the\n gentleman in charge of the late Mrs. Allan's papers\n not to burn any of the letters, papers, receipts, or\n accounts because there may be some mention of Poe in \n John Allan's business letters.\n Dr. \n Miles George and Mr. \n Thomas Bolling are still living,\n but Dr. \n Orlando Fairfax, another fellow\n student of Poe at the \n University of Virginia, is\n dead.","Hennequin sends Ingram a volume of Poe\n translations that he has edited and writes that more\n than half of the book is Ingram's. He requests a\n letter of introduction to some Parisian journalist\n Ingram might know.","Eveleth comments upon and asks sharp questions\n about Ingram's biography of Poe. He doubts \n Mary Gove Nichols' story about\n the straw bed and the cat and Poe's military overcoat\n warming the dying \n Virginia Poe. Eveleth tells a\n story of Poe's blood relationship to \n Sarah Helen Whitman.","Eveleth points out to Ingram that in the first\n volume of his biography Ingram alludes to Poe's\n \"gradual but slow deterioration\" but contradicts this\n statement many times throughout the two volumes.","Mullin encloses a parody of \"The Raven\" entitled\n 'The Shavin' (A Piece of Ravin a la \n Edgar A. Poe )\" which he first\n met in an old number of a Scottish magazine, the\n People's Friend. It consists of five stanzas, signed\n by \n John F. Mill.","Tridon considers Poe the greatest poet, man of\n letters, and thinker who has ever appeared on earth.\n He reproaches Ingram for accepting without refuting\n the diagnosis of \"that ignorant doctress Shew\" who\n insisted that Poe had a brain lesion. Tridon plans to\n publish a study on Poe, Baudelaire, and Rollinat.","Tridon requests \n Annie Richmond's address so that\n he might write to her. He thinks that Poe is\n misjudged in \n France as well as in \n America.","Garnett certifies that the authorship of Tamerlane\n was unknown at the \n British Museum until Ingram\n pointed it out.","Because of an overload of work, Stedman declines\n assisting Ingram in preparing a variorum edition of\n Poe's works. 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? Does he know anything of the\n Mr. Poe who got into trouble in the reign of Charles\n I?","I. L. Poe believes the \n Upper Palatinate of the Rhine was\n the cradle of the \n Poe family. He encloses a\n newsclipping about the marriage of an Irish\n landowner, Lord Emly, to a Miss \n Frances de la Poer.","Valentine encloses a 5\" x 7\" photograph of the\n Allan mansion in \n Richmond, which is to be razed\n for a hotel to be built on the site.","\n George E. Woodberry has written\n to Eveleth that it is a pity Poe suffers by his\n friends as much as by his enemies and that he has\n seldom seen \"a more disingenuous book than Ingram's.\"\n In another letter Woodberry has said, \"I have no\n doubt that all the documents published by \n [Rufus] Griswold are genuine and\n ungarbled. 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. Poe had no capacity for truth\n telling.\" Eveleth judges that Woodberry's forthcoming\n work on Poe is to be Griswold's over again, only more\n so.","Mallarme discusses translations of Poe's works\n into French and \n Emile Hennequin's magnificent\n study of Poe which has recently appeared in La Revue\n Contemporaine (25 January 1885).","Eveleth poses searching, abrupt questions about\n Ingram's two-volume biography of Poe.","Enclosed in Item 397.","Mallarme appreciates Ingram's having used his\n translation of Poe, as representing \n France, in his \"memoir.\"\n Mallarme's translations of Poe's poems will be\n published in book form, illustrated by \n Edouard Manet.","Stedman appreciates the presentation copy of\n Ingram's volume The Raven and the dedication of it to\n him.","Euget has received Ingram's volumes on Poe and\n promises to write on this \"splendid enrichment of the\n Poe literature.\"","Rollinat encloses a five-page rhyming\n interpretation of \"The Raven\" made to prove to\n himself how much he could admire that miraculous\n genius.","Browne calls Ingram's attention to a\n pathological-psychological study of Poe by Dr. \n Henry Maudsley in the Journal of\n Mental Science 45: 328, London, 1860, and a criticism\n of Poe's genius by Bleibtren in his Geschicte der\n Englischer Litteratur, Leipzig, 1887.","Eveleth requests return of a Poe portrait that had\n been cut from Graham's and asks what Ingram thinks of\n Bacon as Shakespeare.","Roden points out misplaced verses and a serious\n error in a French translation in Ingram's volume, The\n Raven, published by Redway in 1885.","Copied from the Curio, January-February 1887.","Challenging Dr. \n John J. Moran's recently\n published statements about the causes of Poe's death,\n Clemm gives an account of Moran's version when he\n called on Clemm to bury Poe in 1849.","Eveleth points out that Ingram's narrative of\n Poe's movements is sundry scraps of information that\n are rather disconnected and not very easy to put into\n form as reliable history.","Beecher encloses a copy of his article from the\n Curio, January-February 1887, about the houses in New\n York where Poe lived, which he thinks is itself\n abominable and full of the most atrocious errors, but\n he hopes that Ingram may get an idea of the houses as\n they were. He knew many persons who had known Poe\n intimately, but of these, only \n Thomas Dunn English survives.","An eighteen-stanza translation of \"The Raven\" into\n Italian.","Ortensi requests that Ingram encourage favorable\n reception of his Italian prose version of Poe's\n poetry with the English editors to whom he has mailed\n copies.","Newspapers are reprinting verses, obviously\n spurious, said to have been written by Poe on the\n flyleaf of a book he had borrowed from the \n University of Virginia.

Kennedy, 8 December\n 1834, sending Kennedy \"a small sum\" in payment to his\n \"friend\" for \"one of his tales\" (i.e., \"MS. Found in\n a Bottle\"); Kennedy noted on 12 April 1851 that the\n sum was $20 forwarded to Poe from \n Eliza Leslie, editor of The\n Atlantic Souvenir (i.e., The Gift).","Miss Poe encloses a photograph of a portrait of\n Poe that now belongs to her brother \n John Prentiss Poe, a photograph\n of a water-color portrait of \n Virginia Poe that is now hers,\n and an autograph taken from a letter from Poe to her\n father Judge \n Neilson Poe. \n Stone and Kimball Publishing\n Company has been allowed to use these\n things in their new edition of Poe's works; after\n they appear in those volumes they may be offered for\n sale. She thanks Ingram for his appreciation of her\n illustrious kinsman.","That stuff about Poe and helium, if there be such\n a thing, is all newspaper silliness; because Poe\n wanted his balloon to go higher than any had gone\n before, he had to suppose a gas lighter than\n hydrogen. That Poe did anticipate some of the general\n conclusions of later science, Browne did try to show\n once in an article. Reverend \n John B. Tabb has recently written\n an epigram on Poe and his critics, especially \n George Woodberry, and the\n enclosed autographed copy is for Ingram's collection.\n Mentions \n Mark Twain.

[Item 907 is\n enclosed.]","D'Unger gives an account of his association with\n Poe, which began in 1846, of Poe's heavy drinking,\n glumness, carping, and inability to make and keep\n friends.
