EAP to John Sartain, February 9, 1849

New York
Feb. 9, 1849
Mess. J. Sartain & co.

Gent.

I have the honor of sending you, with this note, a poem called "The Bells", about the length of my "Raven" -- in hope that it will meet your views for "The Union Magazine". Should it not please you, will you be so kind as to re-enclose it; and if I do not hear from you respecting it within ten days, I will conclude that you accept it, and draw on you, at 3 days' sight, for $15.

Very resply.

Edgar A. Poe

P. S. -- Should you print the poem, it will be necessary, (on account of the length of some of the lines & their peculiar arrangement) to run them entirely across the page, without the perpendicular rule.
