annabellioncourt:Letter from Edgar Allan Poe to A. Ramsay 12/30/1845. Housed at the Philadelphia Free Library’s Rare Book Collection. The letter is of particular interest becuase Poe rarely referred to the Allans as family, and very rarely used his full name. “Allan” wasn’t even legally part of his name, seeing as John and Frances Allan never formally adopted him.I’m going to crop that line of “My name is Edgar Allan Poe” to use as a reaction image for whenever I see someone misspell his name. -- source link
