Philadelphia

March 7, 1843.

My Dear Sir,

Could you do me a very great favor? I am obliged to go on to Washington on Saturday morning--this is Tuesday--and am in sad need of means. I believe there is due me from "The Pioneer" $30, and if you could, by any management, send me the amount so as to reach me, here, by that period, I would feel myself under deep obligation. If you cannot spare 30$ I would be exceedingly glad of $20.

Your fourth--or rather your third number, has not yet reached this city--although I see it is out in N. York. I am anxious to get it.

I sincerely hope that Mr Lowell is recovering. When you write remember me kindly.

In great haste.
Yours truly
Edgar A Poe

R. Carter Esqre
