I have underscored the word "anxious" be- cause I really mean what I say, and because, about a fortnight ago, I made to the Hon. N. C. Brooks, A. M., a request just such as I now THE PENN MAGAZINE 271 make to yourself. He did not reply; and I, ex- pecting of course the treatment which one gentle- man naturally expects from another, have been put to the greatest inconvenience by the daily but fruitless expectation. Very truly & respectfully yours, Edgar A. Poe. On the back of this letter was pri...nted the pro- spectus of "The Penn Magazine," which forms the basis of Poe's many subsequent notices of a similar kind, and explains the aims and purposes that he continued to cherish as peculiarly his own. It read as follows : — PROSPECTUS OP THE PENN MAGAZINE, A MONTHLY LITERARY JOURNAL, To be edited and published in the city of Philadelphia, By Edgar A. Poe. To THE Public. — Since resigning the con- duct of the "Southern Literary Messenger," at the commencement of its third year, I have always had in view the establishment of a Mag- azine which should retain some of the chief 272 EDGAR ALLAN POE features of that journal, abandoning or greatly modifying the rest.
