    Easier it is to be seen here:


    [Text: Edgar Allan Poe to William Gwynn, May 6, 1831.]

    Mr. W. Gwynn.

    Dear Sir,

    I am almost ashamed to ask any favour at your hands after my foolish conduct upon a former occasion — but I trust to your good nature.

    I am very anxious to remain and settle myself in Balto as Mr. Allan has married again and I no longer look upon Richmond as my place of residence.

    This wish of mine has also met with his approbation.

    I write to request your influence in obtaining some situation or employment in this city.

    Salary would be a minor consideration, but I do not wish to be idle.

    Perhaps (since I understand Neilson has left you) you might be so kind as to employ me in your office in some capacity.

    If so I will use every exertion to deserve your confidence.

    Very Respectfully

    yr Ob. St

    Edgar A. Poe


    I would have waited upon you personally but am confined to my room with a severe sprain in my knee.

    Thanks for this letter, Marie

    This letter shows how Poe was not afraid of labor he was willing to work for a salary, and make himself useful. He was not a lazy drunk like some historians say he may have had alcoholic tendencies but so does Bush and i dont see anybody doin anythin about it. Poe knew how to work, he knew how to be humble, and most of all he knew his purpose without knowing the conclusion.
