John Henry Ingram letter to Algernon C. Swinburne [manuscript], 1874 March 9.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/369173786

Ingram responds to a letter of Swinburne's regarding Poe and "Miss Rosalie." In his "Mirror" article he could not say all he wanted but a better article is soon appearing in the "Temple Bar" magazine. He reports "the South Carolina lady" incident as "a damnable lie of [Rufus W.] Griswolds, but like most of his filthy anecdotes-doubtless grounded upon some floating scandal." Ingram comments on his forthcoming biography based on confidential documents which would effect the "name & fame of a woman still living" and corrects Griswold's errors. He encloses an unfinished poem [not present] which he believes Poe wrote. John Henry Ingram Letter to Algernon C. Swinburne, 1874, Accession #38-135-k, Special Collections, University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Va.
