Abstract:
Poe paid $200 "as a full and entire compensation for all damages, cost and expence which I have sustained or may hereafter sustain by reason of the alleged pregnancy and future delivery of Mary Rogers, my bound Servant Girl." Attests that the payment does not signify Poe's admission of guilt. "Poe does not admit, but protests that he has never had any criminal connection with the said Mary, but pays the sum for the purpose of avoiding litigation."
