EAP to John Allan,  December 29, 1831

Baltimore, Dec. 29th 1831

Dear Sir

Nothing but extreme misery and distress would make me venture to intrude myself again upon your notice -- If you knew how wretched I am I am sure that you would ref relieve me -- No person in the world I am sure, could have undergone more wretchedness than I have done for some time past -- and I have indeed no friend to look to but yourself -- and no chance of extricating myself without your assistance. I know that I have no claim upon your generosity -- and that what little share I had of your affection is long since forfeited, but, for the sake of what once was dear to you, for the sake of the love you bore me when I sat upon your knee and called you father do not forsake me this only time -- and god will remember you accordingly –

E A Poe
