The Inner Light

To the Editor of the Era:
Café de la Régence, Paris, October 6, 1858

Sir:
     May I request you to add to the great kindness shown me by your paper since my arrival in Europe, by publishing in your forthcoming number the accompanying copy of a letter to Howard Staunton, Esq. I hall esteem it a favor, as I am most desirous that my true position with reference to that gentleman should at length be put in its proper light before the public.
     I have the honor to remain, sir,
Your very obedient servant
Paul Morphy
